Laois Rose of Tralee continues to dance her way through Dancing with the Stars on RTÉ, with this week's performance bringing an exciting twist.
Our Laois Rose Katelyn Cummins dazzled audiences last week with her partner Leonardi Lini, dancing an upbeat jive to APT by Rosé and Bruno Mars. See the pair's recent performance here.

After topping the scoreboard in the first week of the competition, and jointly topping the scoreboard in the competition's second week (alongside singer songwriter Tolü Makay and her partner Maciej Zięba), Katelyn and Leonardo kept the bar high last week with a score of 28 points.
This week's theme is Movie Week, and the Leinster Express / Laois Live can reveal that Katelyn and Leonardo will dance an American Smooth to Rachel Zegler's version of 'Whistle While You Work', from the 2025 live-action version of Snow White.
In celebration of the hit 2025 movie K-Pop Demon Hunters, the Dancing with the Stars professional dancers will perform a very special group dance to a mash-up of hits from the movie, including 'Golden', 'Soda Pop' and 'Takedown'.
At the end of the show, the couple with the lowest combined total from the judges' scores and public votes will be eliminated, and the remaining couples will progress to the season's fourth show on Sunday, January 25.
Laois locals are buzzing with excitement to see what Katelyn and Leonardo bring to the small screen next!
Dancing with the Stars will be on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player at 6:30pm on Sunday. Will the Laois Rose hold onto her position at the top?
