What happens

Dancing with the Stars is a Costa Rican dance reality show which premiered on August 24, 2014 on Teletica. The show is the Costa Rican version of the British television series Strictly Come Dancing. The program is presented by Randall Vargas, alongside Shirley Álvarez, who is the co-host. Boris Sossa was a co-host in season 2. Mauricio Hoffamn was a co-host in season 3. Bismarck Méndez co-hosted seasons 4 and 5. Natalia Carvajal was the co-host in season 6 of the program. Costa Rica became the 49th country to adapt the format and the second in Central America after Panama. In February 2014, the BBC's purchase of the program format from Teletica was announced. The format of the program consists of couples formed by a celebrity with a professional dancer. Each couple performs predetermined dances and competes against the others for the judges' scores and the audience's votes. The couple that receives the lowest combined score from the jury scores and the public votes is eliminated each week until one couple is crowned champion. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
