The show, which premiered on14 June onTVE1 , airs live every Saturday, originally on primetime, but it was relegated to late night due to its poor viewing figures.

The contest began with sixteen competitors (eight boys, eight girls) drawn from public auditions. Every week they have to prepare a
choreography assigned by the program with the artistic help of two top choreographers, Nick Florez and Maria Torres. They mostly dance in interchangeable boy-girl pairs, but as the episodes go on they also dance in same-sex duos or groups. The choreographies can be of very different styles:jazz dance ,street dance ,latin dance , or fusion.After the contestants perform live on the dancefloor, a professional panel (composed by
Cristina Hoyos , Belén Lobo and Ramón Oller) evaluates their work individually and nominates four of them for eviction. The nominees get a minute each to dance freely to a music they have chosen. The audience decides bytelevoting who of the nominees proceed in the contest: the two contestants with most votes are saved.Winner

Eurovision Dance Contest 2008 selection section and will compete in this event in September 2008 with internally chosen celebrity singerRosa López , winner of another TV dance competition¡Mira quién baila! .
