Dancing with the Stars South Africa

Dancing with the Stars South Africa is a South African version of the BBC Worldwide format in which 12 untrained celebrities compete for a public vote with the help of professional Latin and Ballroom dancers.

During the first two live Sunday night broadcasts, viewers are introduced to the dancing pairs. A special results show, Dancing with the Stars Live Results, is added from Episode 3, when the first couple will be sent home.

Viewers will be able to vote for their favourite dancing pairs – a celebrity partnered with a professional dancer – from the start of the live show at 17h00 until 19h15 on the same night.
 
Dancing with the Stars South Africa is produced for M-Net by Rapid Blue.
