# Bailando por un Sueño: Primer Campeonato Internacional de Baile

Bailando por un Sueño: Primer Campeonato Internacional de Baile (Dancing for a Dream: First International Dance Championship) is a TV show, where celebrities and dancers from different countries that had participated before in the show Bailando por un Sueño compete to win the First International Dance Championship Cup or the Nations Cup. It began on November 4, 2007 and finished on December 16, 2007, hosted by Adal Ramones and Liza Echeverría. The show was aired at 20:00 (-6 GTM) on Sunday, by Canal de las Estrellas.

## Format

This show was based on the format of Bailando por un Sueño. Nine couples (formed by a celebrity and an amateur dancer) competed each week against each other dancing several styles to impress a panel of judges. The judges gave to each performance a score from 1–10. From the nine scores, there was a secret one, "The Secret Score" from one judge. It was revealed at the end of the show. Also, the highest and the lowest scores were cancelled, to eliminate favoritism. At the end of each program, the lowest-scored couples were revealed. If a couple received the lowest score of the week three times in a row, it will be eliminated of the competition.
