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]

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.

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?
