Bailando por un sueño (Argentina)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bailando por un sueño is a segment inside the television program of Argentina called "Showmatch", emitted by Channel 13. Taking the format of the program as a base of ¡Mira quién baila! of Spain or "Dancing with the Stars" of Australia, Bailando por un sueño it looks like more the Mexican version of the same one.

On the contest, an anonymous dreamer (man or woman) that besides must be an amateur dancer, is accompanied by an Argentine celebrity in a contest of dance, where, week to week, they will have to demonstrate their skills for the dance in different paces, since: tango, chacarera, salsa, merengue, flamenco, rock, disco, hip-hop, axé, etc. The couple who obtains fewer points on the part of the juror will remain sentenced in order that this way, is the public who with their SMS's, or telephonic calls, votes for what couple must be the one that will continue in the program.

Today, there is in the air the third edition of this famous contest, being sworn of same icons of the artistic Argentine scene like: Reina Reech, Moria Casán, Gerardo Sofovich and Jorge Lafauci.

By the way, inside the program Showmatch that Marcelo Tinelli leads, there is another contest of similar characteristics called "Singing for a dream" or "Cantando por un sueño". Practically every night in that both segments are emitted, both manage to be leaders of hearing in their finge time, in spite of the fact that part of the viewers considers that the program should turn out to be heavy.

Unlike the international versions, Dancing for a dream (Argentina), it took, from the second edition, the most polemic course due to the constant discords and discussions of the famous ones who accompany the dreamer and the members of the juror. This, more than anything, do that Showmatch rises of rating the nights in which the juror counts to the couples.^[1]^[2]

In the end, after an argument with the panel of judges over her stance in the competition, she left the program before it was revealed that she and Mr. Avoletta had been eliminated by the viewers' vote.

In this third season, the panel of judges was presided until 23 November 2006 by impresario and TV producer/host Gerardo Sofovich, alongside journalist Jorge Lafauci, actress and dancer Moria Casán, and actress and dancer Reina Reech. On Tuesday, 21 November, Mr. Sofovich announced that he would be resigning his post as the panel of judges’ president on account of what he felt were “some participants’ insolence and lack of respect for the judges”, and his vexation at the quarrels that had involved him (first with celebrity Laura Fidalgo, with whom he had already had an altercation before the contest, then with Javier Rojas, and lastly with the recently evicted Eduardo Garro). Although the show’s host and producer (and Mr. Sofovich’s personal friend) Marcelo Tinelli entreated with him to stay, his production stated that his replacements will rotate weekly for the remainder of the show.^[3] For the week of November 27, former football star Diego Maradona (who had competed in the Italian Ballando con le Stelle in 2005) will be taking over Gerardo Sofovich's seat in the panel of judges.^[4]
