User Reviews

What a great TV show!!

This show is reality TV without the trash!! It is fun and uplifting.I admit that the title is a bit misleading. The "stars" are not "A" list, but it is still fun to watch. A star is paired up with a professional ballroom dancer throughout the duration of the show and they make up their own individual routines. Throughout the show the couples compete different types of dances every week and one couple a week gets eliminated. The couples each develop their individual styles and show their personalities through their dancing.

This show is a great opportunity to come together as a family or bunch of friends and spend the evening together. I highly recommend it!!
