Alyson Hannigan has her sights set on a Mirrorball trophy at the end of her Dancing with the Stars journey. So much so, she’s calling in some A-list friends for help.
During the rehearsals for the special Disney 100 Night on DWTS, the former How I Met Your Mother actress and her pro partner, Sasha Farber, welcomed a super special surprise visitor. Alyson’s friend and DWTS Season 31 alum Selma Blair turned up, along with her dog Scout.
Some friendly Dancing with the Stars tips for Alyson Hannigan
“Selma’s the best guest,” Alyson, 49, said happily. “It was so wonderful to see everybody surround her with love; even her dog was so excited to be back in the studio. She’s such an inspiration.”
Selma, 51, was also partnered with Sasha, 39, when she was previously part of the reality dancing television series. She was a fan-favorite contestant but had to gracefully bow out during the fifth week due to ongoing health concerns. Selma was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2018.
Alyson shared that Selma gave her some helpful advice heading deeper into the competition. She revealed what Selma shared: “Definitely to breathe, and just leave the weight of the world outside. Just to be present. She was wonderful. She’s the reason I wanted Sasha as my partner so bad.”
As for the dance pro, he was thrilled to see Selma, too. “It was great to have her in the studio again,” he said. “And you know, taking a photo of the three of us was like, ‘Oh, maybe we should bring back trio week.’ That would be so cool.”
Dancing through Disney
Alyson and Sasha recently danced to the Disney classic “Be Our Guest” from Beauty and the Beast.
The wardrobe department went all out for the duo’s iconic look for the dance! They gave Alyson a candlestick-inspired look with sky-high hair and glittery eye makeup painted to look like flames.
The pair delivered a fun and charming performance of the classic Disney song, and looked like they were having a great time together. They received a combined score of 18/30 from the DWTS judges.
Dancing with the Stars Season 32 airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and Disney+.
