'DWTS' Disney Week: Fans excited to see Suni Lee and Sasha Farber have fun
For Olympic gymnast Suni Lee, taking on 'Dance With The Stars' has proved to be quite a challenge. Although dancing is a far cry from gymnastics, she's proved that she is versatile as ever and has managed to win over the judges and fans with her tenacity and dedication to every routine.
After having floored the judges with her 'Disney Heroes Night' performance, she and pro Sasha Farber were all set to dance the Viennese Waltz to 'I Put A Spell On You' by Annie Lennox inspired by 'Hocus Pocus'.

Prior to her performance, Lee was excited to take on the avatar of 'Hocus Pocus' character Winifred Sanderson, seeing that Lee is also very close to her own sister. She considers her sister Shyenne to be her best friend and mentioned that she wouldn't be where she is without her.
Len Goodman was all praises for Lee, as Bruno Tonioli too, asked her to keep up the good work. Carrie Ann Inaba was happy to see that Lee was finally dancing beyond her body and pushing herself. Derek Hough agreed as well, pointing out that she was on the right track. Lee scored 35 out of 40. Her grand total was 68 out of 80.
Fans too were thrilled to see Lee's and Farber's performance, as the two of them got into their characters and put on quite a show. "Suni is finally opening up!! #DWTS" tweeted a fan. "This is the first dance of Suni's I've honestly enjoyed to watch her in. She was out of her head and just dancing. I just can't wait to see her REALLY break out and have fun. And if anyone can do that for a partner, it's Sasha. #dwts" added another.
"Suni and Sasha's Viennese waltz was awesome! I laughed at Sasha the cat running off at the end, and Suni really got into character. #DWTS" pointed out a fan. "Suni & Sasha were so good!! That dance really leveled up when they danced down those steps & onto the floor. Sasha as a cat was pretty priceless! #DWTS" said a fan. "When Sasha crawled away I busted out laughing. They're so good! I do want for attitude and facials from Suni and I'll be sold on her! #DWTS" said another. "Sasha getting on all fours and crawling like cat across the dance floor killed me we need more of his antics shown #DWTS" added a fan.
