DWTS Season 35 Night 1: Men Hit the Floor, First Elimination Arrives

Dancing With the Stars Season 35 kicks off with a two‑night premiere; night one features eight male celebrities dancing to No. 1 songs from their birth years. Scores ranged from 10 to 21/30, with Harry Shum Jr. posting the night’s high score (21/30) and Conner Leavitt and Adele Zaikman being the first couple eliminated (12/30) after the initial round.
