Dancing with the Stars is an American reality competition television series for ABC and Disney+. An adaptation of the British contest show Strictly Come Dancing, the series pairs celebrities with professional dancers to compete in primarily Latin and ballroom dance routines and challenges. Each couple is scored by a panel of judges, whose points combined with audience votes determines which contestants will be eliminated as the competition progresses. The last remaining couples compete in a finale to crown the winner; these installments are highlighted by the contestants' freestyle routines.
Dancing with the Stars has been nominated for several accolades, including 132 Primetime Emmy Awards (winning 21), 14 People's Choice Awards (winning four), and eight Critics' Choice Television Awards (winning two). It won two GLAAD Media Awards for Outstanding Reality Program.
