Dancing with the Stars returned for a tenth season on March 22, 2010. There was not an elimination the first week of competition. The first elimination took place on March 30.

Samantha Harris did not return as co-host for this season, due to her expanded correspondent duties on The Insider and Entertainment Tonight. On March 8, 2010, Tom Bergeron announced on Good Morning America that his new co-host is Season 7 champion Brooke Burke.

Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli, and Carrie Ann Inaba continue as the judges this season.

Season 10 has 11 contestants. This makes it the first season in the show's history to feature fewer contestants than the previous season. This is also the first season to have more female participants than males.

The cast was announced during the finale of The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love on March 1, 2010, by Tom Bergeron and Melissa Rycroft. Pro pairings were announced on Good Morning America on March 2, 2010.

Damian Whitewood, from the Broadway dance revue Burn the Floor, joined the list of professionals this season. Ashly DelGrosso Costa, whose last season as a pro was Season 3, returned. Also, Edyta Śliwińska continued as the longest tenured professional on the show, having appeared on the first ten seasons.

This season, the Results Show was moved to 8 pm on Tuesdays instead of the usual 9 pm slot. This season also features other changes such as the “red room” being inside of the ballroom, enclosed by glass walls (affectionately referred to as "The Celebriquarium" by Bergeron), a balcony with a railing where the cast can stand and watch the performances live rather than on a monitor, and theme nights.

Pussycat Dolls lead singer, Nicole Scherzinger won the competition over Olympic Gold Medalist Evan Lysacek and ESPN Sportscaster Erin Andrews who took second and third, respectively.

Also, Dancing with the Stars held an online contest where viewers could submit their drawings for outfits for the performance. The viewers then also voted for a set of costumes picked by the show's designers. The winner was Emilio Oh. His designs were turned into the costumes for Fatone and Rycroft, and he won a trip to the show.
