LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong have their eyes set on the mirrorball trophy! During the Disney Night-themed episode of 'Dancing with the Stars' Season 33, Chandler and Brandon set the dance stage on fire with their killer moves. 

In the episode, Chander and Brandon delivered an impressive Paso Doble routine set to the popular track 'We Own The Night' from the Disney film 'Zombies 2'. The pair's dancing skills left the entire judging panel including Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli speechless. They received a score of 27 out of 30.

Carrie was in complete awe of Chandler and Brandon's performance and described it as "passionate" and "powerful." She also noted that the pair's latest dance performance helped them rectify their previous week's criticism.

Without a doubt, this week, the dazzling duo made quite a comeback after facing criticism during the previous episode of the ABC dance competition. The duo struggled to earn high scores from the judges, who encouraged them to explore deeper and push their limits. Determined to impress both the judges and the audience, they left no stone unturned in their efforts.
