Dancing with the Stars AU Show Summary
Dancing with the Stars is an Australian reality show that pairs celebrities with professional ballroom dancers who compete against each other in a dance-off to impress a panel of judges and the viewing public. The show is based on the British BBC Television series Strictly Come Dancing and is part of BBC Worldwide’s international Dancing with the Stars franchise1

The series will be again pre-recorded and filmed at the ICC in Sydney3

The judges will score each performance out of 10, while the viewers will vote for their favourite couple via telephone or SMS.
