Dança dos Famosos is a Brazilian dance competition show airing since 2005 on Rede Globo television network as a one-hour segment on Domingão do Faustão.

The show is the Brazilian version of the British television series Strictly Come Dancing. Fausto Silva is the main host, alongside Carol Castro, who became co-host in season eleven.

Format

The show pairs a number of celebrities with professional ballroom dancers who each week compete against each other in a competition to impress a panel of judges and the viewing audience in order to survive potential elimination.

Through telephone voting, viewers vote who they would like to stay, the results of the poll being combined with the ranking of the panel of judges.

The concept of the show is to pair a celebrity with a professional dancer in an attempt to win a high score from a panel of five judges and then a high number of votes from the audience.
