00:00 Nightly brawl and all that.
00:04 Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the music or dance themes that have either never been explored
00:14 or need to be brought back to this popular dance show. We believe these themes could offer some truly magical performances.
00:21 You're the one I see, you're the only one I see.
00:28 Number 10. Fantasy and fairy tales night. Dancing with the stars has celebrated some of Disney's most beloved heroes and villains.
00:34 Mother will protect you darling is what I suggest.
00:38 Skip the drama, stay with mama.
00:43 However, we think there's still a vast uncharted realm waiting to be explored and it's pretty magical.
00:49 Picture a dazzling Cinderella inspired waltz or a daring pasodoble through an enchanted forest.
00:55 [Music]
01:03 We imagine Arwen's song from the Lord of the Rings movies would pair splendidly with a rumba.
01:07 Much like Hedwig's theme from Harry Potter did to a Viennese waltz.
01:10 [Music]
01:19 And who knows, a fairy-tastic foxtrot might just be waiting to be discovered.
01:24 Combine an epic theme with gorgeous music and incredible costumes and unleash your wildest imagination.
01:29 We're definitely up for an enchanting night where fairy tales come alive.
01:33 [Music]
01:44 Number nine. Movie night.
01:46 Fans of Dancing with the Stars sister show in the UK eagerly anticipate a yearly movie theme spectacle.
01:52 They've had blockbuster routines like a pasodoble set to the Matrix theme,
01:55 an elegant American smooth dance to singing in the rain and even a jive inspired by Pulp Fiction.
02:01 [Music]
02:10 We've had our own Hollywood night and movie nights on Dancing with the Stars too,
02:14 but we're sure there's untapped potential waiting to be uncovered.
02:18 Lindsey Stirling and Mark Ballas' sci-fi inspired Argentine tango feels like just the beginning.
02:22 And we're ready for a sequel.
02:25 [Music]
02:36 With the show shot in Los Angeles, surely we're primed for more movie magic on the dance floor.
02:40 What could be more Hollywood than that?
02:43 [Music]
02:52 Number eight. Inspirational heroes night.
02:55 We always stock up on tissues whenever the most memorable year night rolls around.
02:59 [Music]
03:08 So far, we've also seen similar heartfelt themes like Best Year of My Life Night in season 16,
03:13 and Stars Stories Week in season 31.
03:16 But we have an alternative title that's bound to tug at your heartstrings even more.
03:20 [Music]
03:32 How about a night where the pairs honor the people who've profoundly shaped their lives?
03:36 Picture a dance dedicated to a parent's sacrifices, a mentor's guidance,
03:40 or a friend's unwavering support during tough times.
03:43 [Music]
03:52 Most of us will have that special person and just envision expressing thanks through a dance on national television.
03:58 The mere thought has us tearing up already.
04:00 [Music]
04:08 Number seven. Guilty pleasures night.
04:10 What's your ultimate guilty pleasure song?
04:13 You know, that tune you crank up and dance to when you're sure no one's watching?
04:17 [Music]
04:24 In the past, this theme week has been a banger and we need more of that energy.
04:28 We shook our hips along to Emmett Smith and Sheryl Burke's Samba.
04:31 [Music]
04:37 We reveled in the pure joy radiating from Lindsey Stirling and Mark Ballas' Jive.
04:41 [Music]
04:54 And who didn't leap off the sofa to join in with Team Gangnam Style?
04:58 It's the perfect excuse to jam out to those tunes we usually reserve for solo dance parties in our rooms.
05:03 So let's bring back the fun and dance like nobody's watching.
05:06 Or like everyone's watching and loving it.
05:09 [Music]
05:18 Number six. Music video night.
05:21 Sounds like they heard us loud and clear for season 32, but we want this to be a recurring thing.
05:26 Remember in season 21 when the couples put their own unique touches on some of the most famous dances?
05:31 [Music]
05:39 We would so be up for another week like that.
05:42 Or maybe they could give it a twist and recreate some of the most iconic music videos of all time?
05:46 [Music]
05:52 Picture a duo nailing Michael Jackson's Thriller or grooving to Janet's Rhythm Nation.
05:56 [Music]

06:15 Someone get us ABC on the phone pronto.
06:17 [Music]

06:29 What's more fun than watching your favorite couple nail a dance style?
06:33 Mastering two simultaneously, of course.
06:36 [Music]
06:41 Remember when Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani dazzled with a chic cha-cha-cha and thrilling tango fusion?
06:47 [Music]
06:58 Or when Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas brought the heat with a fiery paso doble seamlessly blended with a terrific tango?
07:05 And who could overlook Normani and Val Shmierkowski's captivating Argentine tango and fantastic foxtrot fusion?
07:11 [Music]
07:22 We'd love to see the 24-hour fusion challenge make a comeback too.
07:26 What dance combos make your fusion wish list?
07:29 A foxtrot jive?
07:30 A rumba waltz?
07:31 Perhaps a quick step paso doble?

08:17 or a lightning-fast quick step to Guns and Ships.
08:20 [Music]
08:27 Okay, just kidding about the second one, but how cool would that be?
08:30 Instead, how about a heartfelt waltz to burn?
08:33 Musicals like West Side Story and Grease offer ample ideas too.
08:37 [Music]
08:46 We're ready to pull back the curtains and bring the magic of Broadway to the ballroom.
08:50 Jazz hands at the ready.
08:52 [Music]
