'Dancing With The Stars' Ilona Maher Scored Big With Her 'Encanto' Performance, But We Can't Get Over The Unexpectedly Horrifying Element
It was all eyes on Ilona Maher the moment she announced on TikTok she'd be dancing to an "Encanto" song and bringing the character Luisa to the ballroom in the best way possible. Maher certainly looked like the strongest sister of the family Madrigal, and on "Dancing With The Stars'" "Disney Night," she proved she had some smooth moves too. It was a big night for her and nearly perfect if it wasn't for one horrifying element of the performance. On a night where I'd expected some mild griping about Disney Night song choices, I was completely blindsided by the costume choice by pro dancer Alan Bersten, and enjoyed seeing other fans' similarly agog reactions. While the pro did his job as well as we're used to, I'd forgive anyone who forgot what show they were watching due to the demonic-looking donkey humanoid hybrid on the dance floor.
