Dancing with the Stars

“Dancing with the Stars” is an award-winning Australian reality show that brings light entertainment to audiences on the Seven Network, filmed live from Melbourne’s HSV-7 studios. It is inspired by the UK’s BBC series “Strictly Come Dancing” and is part of the global “Dancing with the Stars” franchise by BBC Worldwide. Originally airing in a short season from October to November 2004, it made its big return the following February and was eventually renewed for a ninth season on Seven Network. With an impressive national viewership averaging around 2 million during its peak, the show consistently ranks as the number one series on its air date. The format involves celebrities paired with professional ballroom dancers, who compete in weekly dance-offs to win over both a panel of judges and the public, striving to avoid elimination. Audience participation is key, as viewers cast their votes via telephone and SMS, which are combined with judges’ scores to determine which duo continues in the competition. In the show’s thirteenth season in 2013, Daniel MacPherson and Edwina Bartholomew took hosting responsibilities. The initial logo mirrored that of “Strictly Come Dancing,” but from the eighth series onwards, it aligned more closely with the US version’s branding. Dancing with the Stars is now available for streaming. Watch Dancing with the Stars online free on cineby and 123Movies, right here.
