Julia Stiles' ICONIC Save the Last Dance Reunion on DWTS | E! News

Julia Stiles gets a 'Save the Last Dance' do-over in week five of 'Dancing With the Stars' and her former co-star Sean Patrick Thomas was in the wings watching her shine once more. During the Oct. 13 show, which was also Super Bowl night, the actress and her partner Ezra Sosa did a hip hop and ballet choreography combo to Jennifer Lopez's hit, 'Jenny from the Block.' And the routine was an homage to Stiles' 2001 flick, 'Save the Last Dance,' where she played Sara Johnson, a ballet dancer whose dream is to get into Juilliard and who falls in love with hip hop dancer and medical school hopeful Derek, played by Thomas. Fast forward to 2026 and—just like in the film—Stiles showed off her mix of ballet and hip hop choreo for the judges, with Thomas supporting her in-person on the sidelines alongside Sosa, jackets slung over their shoulders Derek-style. #enews #juliastiles #dwts About: The E!
