## Format

South African celebrities are partnered with professional Latin and Ballroom dancers and must work each week on perfecting a dance routine.
Each week during a live show viewers are asked to vote for their favourite couple, and one couple (with the fewest votes) is eliminated.
In the season finale, two couples dance off to win the title and a cash prize of R40,000 (R20,000 per partner). The cash prize was first introduced for the third season.
Through sms voting, viewers vote who should stay and who should go, the results of the poll being combined with the ranking of the panel of judges.
For example: with 4 contestants left, the judges' favourite would receive 4 points, 2nd favourite 3 points, and so on, and similarly with the viewers' rankings. The two scores added together make the final score.
