Dancing with the Stars is a New Zealand television series based on the British series Strictly Come Dancing. The show introduces eight local celebrities paired with professional ballroom danceers who each week compete against each other in a competition to impress a panel of judges and the viewing public in order to survive potential elimination. Through a telephone poll, viewers vote for those couples who should stay. The public vote and the average score given by the panel of judges equally go towards deciding who should leave. Proceeds from the voting go to the celebrity contestant's charity of choice.
Dancing with the Stars has been popular with the New Zealand public. The first season, which aired in 2005, was the highest rated timeslot programme, averaged 730,000 people per episode, while the second season had an average of 804,000. Up to a million people tuned into each of the season finales.[1][2] The third season started in 2007 with 735,000 viewers, Season Four premiered in 2008 with 720,000 viewers while season five in 2009, opened with over 800,000 viewers, the highest of all previous season debuts.[3]
From 2005–2009, the show was hosted by television personality, Jason Gunn and co-hosted by professional dancer, Candy Lane, and all music was performed live by the "Dancing with the Stars band", led by musical director Carl Doy. For the 2015 season, the show will be hosted by Dominic Bowden.
TVNZ announced in November 2009 that the show would not be returning in 2010, due to the economic climate.[4] In November 2013, television production house Great Southern Television announced that it had acquired the New Zealand rights to the show and would be pitching a new series to all broadcasters.[5] In March 2015, it was announced that Dancing with the Stars has been picked up by TV3 for a sixth series, to air in the later part of the year.[6]
