With the flood of new dance shows hitting the airwaves, here’s a breakdown of all the shows that are sure to step up.
Dancing with the stars:
Dancing with the Stars is a one-of-a-kind series that pairs celebrities with professional ballroom dance partners in intense competition, live, in front of a studio audience and across the country. Each season has a select number of celebrity / professional dance partners. The couples are then judged by a panel of expert judges, as well as by spectators at home. One team will be eliminated each week.
Couples must maintain their focus, grace, and composition while learning precise movements and maneuvering in outrageous costumes. Will they remain compatible during the course of the competition?
Dancing with the Stars has great appeal, offering viewers dazzling costumes, dancing, celebrity gossip, behind-the-scenes training, and contemporary music performed by a live 15-piece band. The format has already been an international success in several countries.
Dancing with the Stars is the American installment of the hit international series Strictly Come Dancing.

Your mom doesn’t dance
Ten professional dancers are paired with fellow amateurs who are trained in a variety of dance styles. Sounds like your typical reality dance competition, right? Wrong: These contestants don’t know, but each is paired with a parent as their dance partner. The result will be a very charged and emotional version of the dance competition genre.
