Julia Stiles Eliminated from Dancing with the Stars on Disney Night

Julia Stiles and her professional partner Ezra Sosa were eliminated from Dancing with the Stars Season 35 on Monday, November 2, 2026. The episode aired a day early on ABC to accommodate live coverage of the U.S. midterm elections.

During Disney Night, the remaining eight couples performed routines inspired by Disney on Broadway productions. Stiles and Sosa danced a paso doble to "Satisfied" from Hamilton, earning 33 out of 40 points from judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, Bruno Tonioli, and guest judge Cynthia Erivo. Their routine was followed by a team dance in which their group, Team Slaytopia, earned 36 points, bringing their combined judges' score to 69.

Although Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas finished at the bottom of the final judges' leaderboard with 68 points after team scores were factored in, viewer votes ultimately placed Stiles and Sosa in the danger zone alongside Higgins. When the results were announced, Stiles was sent home, narrowing the remaining field to seven couples.

The evening featured high marks at the top of the leaderboard. Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson earned a perfect 40 for their jazz routine to "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" from Mary Poppins, securing their second consecutive perfect score. Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy also earned a perfect 40 for a quickstep to "Be Our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast.

In addition to individual performances, the contestants participated in team dances. Team Wildcats, captained by Connor Wood and featuring Shum Jr., Dewan, and Ezra Frech alongside professional partners and co-host Julianne Hough, performed to "We’re All in This Together" from High School Musical and received a 40 out of 40. Team Slaytopia danced to "Zoo" from Zootopia 2, scoring 36 points.

Following the conclusion of the team round, Harry Shum Jr. won immunity for the upcoming week. Because he and Jenna Dewan were tied with a combined judges' total of 80 for the night, Shum claimed the immunity based on his higher cumulative season score.

Seven couples remain in the competition: Amber Glenn, Connor Wood, Ezra Frech, Harry Shum Jr., Jenna Dewan, Maura Higgins, and Tatyana Ali. Dancing with the Stars will return to its regular schedule for Grammy Night on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, on ABC and Disney+, with Harry Shum Jr. sitting out of the elimination risks due to his immunity.
