On November 2nd, "Dancing with the Stars" featured a memorable moment when ensemble dancer Diego Pasillas slipped during the elaborate opening number for Disney Night. Pasillas, performing a Newsies segment, unexpectedly fell on the ballroom floor but immediately recovered, continuing the routine with remarkable poise.
Following the live broadcast, Pasillas shared a video of the incident, including a slow-motion replay, and explained his recovery. He captioned the post with the resilient phrase, "Show must go on." This emphasis on perseverance is a recurring theme on the show, recalling past dramatic events.
Past seasons have seen notable mishaps, such as contestant Marie Osmond fainting in 2007 and recent wardrobe malfunctions like Jenna Dewan's heel getting caught on her dress last week. Despite such 'hiccups,' performers often manage to complete their routines successfully, underscoring the show's demanding nature. "Dancing with the Stars" airs live Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and Disney+, with streaming available on Hulu.
