Tantsud tähtedega (Estonian: Dancing With The Stars) is an Estonian television reality show airing on Kanal 2. It débuted on 8 October 2006 and it has become one of the most popular television shows in Estonia. It is originated from the British reality show Strictly Come Dancing created by BBC. The show is produced by BEC productions.

The show introduces eight local celebrities paired with professional ballroom dancers 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. 50% of the public votes and the average score given by the panel of judges goes towards deciding who should leave. Proceeds from the voting will go to charity.

Four seasons have been produced, in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2010.
