Ilona Maher Announced She'll Be Dancing To An Encanto Song For DWTS’ Disney Night With A Viral TikTok, And Fans Are Freaking Out

As a gamer who has grown up with Disney and Dancing with the Stars as staples of my entertainment diet, I must say that this upcoming Disney Night is shaping up to be one for the books! Among all the contestants, U.S. Rugby player Ilona Maher’s choice to perform “Surface Pressure” from Encanto has got everyone buzzing.


Among all the unique theme nights during the run of “Dancing with the Stars,” Disney Night consistently ranks as one of the most cherished. This is due in part to the fact that many people are familiar with the songs, making the dances even more enjoyable. In the upcoming week, U.S. Rugby player Ilona Maher might draw a few additional spectators when Disney Night airs on the 2024 TV schedule, as she has opted for a track from the sensational “Encanto” soundtrack that has fans overflowing with delight. Rest assured, there’s no buzz surrounding Bruno in this case.

The full list of songs that the remaining contestants will be performing to on Disney Night has been revealed. It includes a broad collection of tunes, including music from The Little Mermaid, Tarzan, and even ZOMBIES 2. I feel Super Bowl champion Danny Amendola is cheating a little bit using “Bye Bye Bye,” though the song technically counts since it appeared in Deadpool & Wolverine. However, the fact that Ilona Maher will embrace her inner Luisa and dance to “Surface Pressure” from Encanto is what’s catching everyone’s attention.

On TikTok, Ilona Maher revealed her selected song for her upcoming performance in a short, intriguing video clip. This announcement has since sparked excitement among fans, causing the post to rapidly gain popularity and generate widespread enthusiasm.

As a rugby player, she possesses the physique suited for portraying the robust Luisa, and one tweet even gained widespread attention expressing hope that this would transpire as she fits the role exceptionally well.

In a TikTok post, Maher clearly stated “We listened to you,” which seems to indicate that the choice of using “Surface Pressure” was primarily or even entirely due to fan requests. She further expressed her identification with the character and showed great enthusiasm about performing the song.

How Fans Are Reacting To The Encanto Song Choice

It’s no secret that fans are thrilled beyond belief about Ilona Maher’s participation in “Dancing with the Stars” as Luisa. While others will be dancing to Disney tunes, Maher seems destined to transform into a Disney character during her performance. Those who reacted on the initial TikTok can hardly contain their excitement, expressing disbelief that it’s actually happening, with comments such as:

  • AHHHHHH WE’RE GETTING LUISA -Megan Rose
  • I mean surface pressure has been the dream since she was announced -Malulu
