The new edition of the reality "Dancing for a dream" has a starting date on April 9th, as a main segment of the TV program "Showmatch" on El Trece Channel. As in all the previous nine season, Marcelo Tinelli will host.

The competence, that is an adaptation of the Mexican reality of the same name - and it's based on "Dancing with the stars" -, consists of a couple formed by a television or theatrical personality and a professional dancer who must demonstrate their dancing skills in different musical rhythms. Each couple receives the critics and score of a jury. Couples who do not reach the cutoff score should dance once more, after which the jury choose to "save" a certain number of pairs until only two remain. One of them is then eliminated by public vote through text messages or phone calls.

When there are four couples remaining in the contest a draw is done for them to clash in duels. The two winning couples face each other in a final, in which only the public has the decision to proclaim a winner.

Here the winners of the previous seasons:

First Season (2006)

Carmen Barbieri & Cristian Ponce

Second Season (2006)

Florencia de la V & Manuel Rodriguez

Third Season (2006)

Carla Conte & Guillermo Conforte

Fourth Season (2007)

Celina Rucci & Matías Sayago

Fifth season (2008)

Carolina Ardohain & Nicolás Armengol

In 2009 there was a variation on the structure of the contest, in which the teams consisted of a main figure and a dance troop.


Silvina Escudero

Sixth season (2010)

Fabio "La Mole" Moli & Mariana Conci

Seventh season (2011) & Eighth season (2012)

Hernan Piquín & Noelia Pompa

Ninth season (2014)

Marcos "Bicho" Gómez & Anita Martínez

Tenth season (2015)

Federico Bal & Laura Fernández

Eleventh season (2016)

Pedro Alfonso & Flor Vigna

Twelfth season (2017)

There's probably going to be a change on the program's name, and is related with something that I posted last season:

News update:

Is not sure that the show will air tonight due to some financial problems.   

This situation started last year when Marcelo Tinelli sold his company Ideas del Sur (that produces the show) to the group Indalo (who owns a pool of radios, newspapers and TV channels). Things is that with the change of the goverment was revealed that the owners of Indalo (who were politically aligned with the previous goverment) didn't pay around u$s 500 million in federal taxes - what is a federal crime - and used that money to buy part of the media companies (including Marcelo Tinelli's). A federal judge issued an embargo over all the assets of the company and the owners to cover the huge debt, and the owners are trying to get the judge authorization to sell each company (as a whole pool or individually) to cancel the debt. This has a consecuence: all the employees, journalist, tv crew, etc., are not collecting their salaries on time; and Showmatch staff has, to the date, a four month debt. So if they're not cancelling part of what is owed, they have decided not to work tonight.

This problem also had a collateral problem that is that the rights of the name "Showmatch" are not property of the production of the show nor of the channel, so - as the future new owners of Indalo stated that they will not allow the use of it - the new season of DFAD would air under the new label of "Showdance".

A federal judge issued an embargo over all the assets of the company and the owners to cover the huge debt, and the owners are trying to get the judge authorization to sell each company (as a whole pool or individually) to cancel the debt. This has a consecuence: all the employees, journalist, tv crew, etc., are not collecting their salaries on time; and Showmatch staff has, to the date, a four month debt. So if they're not cancelling part of what is owed, they have decided not to work tonight.

News update:

On his IG account, Marcelo Tinelli announced yesterday that the show will air as "BAILANDO 2018".
