Dancing with the Stars’ Movie Night is back this weekend! And we couldn’t be more excited.
It’s time to see if the contestants can give blockbuster performances this Sunday.
Following last week’s shock first elimination of comedian and actor Michael Fry and his pro partner Kylee Vincent, everything is still to play for. The eleven remaining couples will perform routines inspired by some of the biggest movies of all time.
See what everyone will be dancing to…
Paudie Moloney and Laura Nolan
Having gotten into character last week as ‘the Paudfather’, The Traitors Ireland star Paudie Moloney will switch up scenes as he becomes Fred Flintstone.
He will be yabba-dabba-doing a Charleston with Laura Nolan to the theme from The Flintstones.
Tolü Makay and Maciej Zieba
Singer-songwriter Tolü Makay and Rose of Tralee Katelyn Cummins are both back in the ballroom this week after jointly occupying the top spot on the leaderboard last week. Both will take on some classic kids’ movies.
Tolü and her partner Maciej Zięba are dancing a Cha-cha-cha to Christina Aguilera and Missy Elliott’s version of ‘Car Wash’ from the movie Shark Tale.
Katelyn Cummins and Leonardo Lini
Katelyn and her pro dancer Leonardo Lini will dance an American Smooth to Rachel Zegler’s version of the ‘Whistle While You Work’ from the recent live-action version of Snow White.
Niamh Kavanagh and Stephen Vincent
Movie Week will be especially meaningful for Eurovision winner Niamh Kavanagh, who dances a Foxtrot to ‘Destination Anywhere’ from The Commitments with her partner Stephen Vincent.
Niamh auditioned for a role in the film in the early 1990s and, while she missed out on appearing onscreen, her lead vocal featured prominently on the soundtrack. This Sunday marks a full-circle moment as she dances to her own vocal from the movie.
Philip Doyle and Daniela Roze
Having long been told he resembles Clark Kent by his friends and family, rower Philip Doyle will don the famous red cape and spandex and dance Paso Doble to the Superman theme with his very own Lois Lane, pro dancer, Daniela Roze.
Stephanie Kelly and Ervinas Merfeldas
We’ll be taking a trip down memory lane to the 1970s when Fair City star Stephanie Kelly and her partner Ervinas Merfeldas become Danny and Sandy for a Quickstep to ‘You’re the One That I Want’ by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John from Grease.
Anne Cassin and Robert Rowinski
We’ll also be back in the 1980s when Nationwide presenter Anne Cassin and her pro dancer Robert Rowiński don the legwarmers for a Cha-cha-cha to Irene Cara’s ‘Fame’ from Fame.
Brian Kennedy and James Cutler
Following on from his low scores from the judges last week, Brian Kennedy and his pro dancer James Cutler will return to the ballroom with a dramatic Paso Doble with the title track from The Phantom of the Opera.
Jordan Dargan and Rebecca Scott
Expect plenty of special-effects make-up on the night. The Apprentice UK star Jordan Dargan will be turning blue when he and partner, Rebecca Scott dance Contemporary Ballroom to ‘Pandora’ the theme from Avatar.
Eric Roberts and Arianna Favaro
While Ireland AM presenter, Eric Roberts, will turn green for his Samba to ‘Cuban Pete’ from the Jim Carrey comedy The Mask alongside his pro dancer Arianna Favarro.

Podcaster Amber Wilson and her partner Alex Vladimirov will be grabbing a wand and broomstick and hoping to fly high on the scoreboard when they become Glinda and Elphaba with a Contemporary Ballroom to ‘For Good’ by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo from the recent sequel Wicked: For Good.
In celebration of the cultural phenomenon of 2025, the professional dancers will perform a very special group dance to a mash-up of hits from KPop Demon Hunters: ‘Golden’, ‘Soda Pop’ and ‘Takedown’.
