Dancing with the stars
Countries with their own version

Dancing with the Stars is the name for a number of international television series based on the format of the British series Strictly Come Dancing. Shows have aired in several countries, including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Mexico, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Canada, USA, Poland, Spain and Norway.

The show, a celebreality-type offering, pairs a number of celebrities with professional ballroom dancers, who each week compete by performing dances, which are then given scores by a panel of judges. Viewers are given a certain amount of time to place votes on their favorite dancers, either by telephone or (in some of the shows) by the Internet. The couple with the lowest combined score (judges plus viewers) is eliminated and does not go on to the next week. This process continues until there are only two couples left, at which point one couple is declared the champion.

The Swedish show, called "Let's Dance", was first aired in January-March 2006 on TV4. It was hosted by Agneta Sjödin and David Hellenius. The last couples were singer Måns Zelmerlöw with Maria Karlsson (winners), singer Anna Book with David Watson (second), and actor Viktor Åkerblom Nilsson with Carin da Silva (third). The series had a large audience, and with almost 2 million viewers the final gave TV4 the highest rating for that Friday evening. It was the first time since 1997 that TV4 had more viewers than the public service company SVT's perennially popular music game show "Så skall det låta".

The German show, called "Let's Dance" is currently on air.

The Israeli version is called Rokdím im Kokhavím. Its 1st season started on November 2005 and ended on January 2006. The 2nd season started on May 22nd, 2006.
