Dancing Brasil
Dancing Brasil is a Brazilian reality television series based on the ABC celebrity dance competition Dancing with the Stars, produced by Endemol Shine in partnership with BBC Worldwide. The show is hosted by Xuxa Meneghel, alongside Junno Andrade, who became co-host in season four. Sérgio Marone co-hosted the first two seasons, while Leandro Lima was co-host in the third season. The series premiered on Monday, 3 April 2017 at 10:30 p.m. (BRT / AMT) on RecordTV. Format The format of the show consists of a celebrity paired with a professional dancer. Each couple performs predetermined dances and competes against the others for judges' points. The three couples receiving the lowest total of judges' points are up to the public vote, where the couple who received the fewest votes will be eliminated each week until only the champion dance pair remains. Controversy In order to produce Dancing Brasil, RecordTV bought the rights to adapt Dancing with the Stars, the American version of the British series Strictly Come Dancing, from BBC Worldwide, to be co-produced by Endemol Shine. However, Strictly has been served as the base for Dança dos Famosos (The Famous' Dance), another Brazilian series which has been airing since 2005
