On 19 December 2016, theatre producer & actor Pedro Alfonso and reality TV star Florencia Vigna were announced winners. Singer Ezequiel Cwirkaluk and dancer & TV personality Bárbara Silenzi finished second.
Cast Teams Initially, 26 teams were confirmed. This season 5 couples made up of celebrities participate, they are: Federico Bal & Laura Fernández (winners of the previous edition, defenders of the title); Ezequiel Cwirkaluk & Bárbara Silenzi; Martín Liberman & Marcela Greco; Pedro Alfonso & Florencia Vigna and Oscar Ruggeri & Candela Ruggeri. Later, one more celebrity couple will join (Anita & Marcos).
On 7 June, Bárbara Vélez, one of the celebrities announced in the program, withdraws for personal reasons from the competition before her debut. On 22 June, before meeting the first eliminated couple, Alejandro Lerner withdrew from the competition for personal reasons. More resignations were presented throughout the program: Fabián Doman, Martín Liberman & Marcela Greco, Fernando Vázquez and Agustín Casanova.
For the first time in the show's history, a celebrity (singer Marta Sánchez) was disqualified for not showing up to dance when she was summoned.
In the third round, the lawyer and television personality Fernanda Herrera joined. Faced with the massive resignations, the production decided to incorporate new couples to the competition (after round 8). The production chose Bárbara Vélez to rejoin the contest, after her scandalous exit from the contest before her debut, and to incorporate Nicole Neumann, Lizy Tagliani, Anita Martínez & Marcos Gómez (winners of Bailando 2014) and Carla Conte (winner of Bailando por un sueño 3).
