What is “Dancing with the Stars all About?”
Dancing with the Stars is an American dance competition television series that premiered on June 30, 2005, on ABC. It was created as a cross between dancing with the stars and celebrity dancing reality show like Dancing With The Stars UK. The US version of Strictly Come Dancing first aired in 1997 for one season before being canceled due to low ratings.
The show is hosted by former America’s Funniest Home Videos host Tom Bergeron, alongside Erin Andrews, who became co-host in season 18. Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli serve as judges on the panel. The dancers compete against each other in a dancing competition and one or more couples are eliminated until a champion is crowned.
A new dancing with the stars professional dancer partner is selected for them every week except those that have participated before but come back to participate again like Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Valentin Chmerkovskiy from Dancing With The Stars Season 12.
