Format

This show was based on the format of Bailando por un Sueño. Ten couples competed each week against each other dancing several styles to impress a panel of judges. The judges gave to each performance a score from 1–10.
From the ten scores, there was a secret one, "The Secret Score" from one judge. It was revealed at the end of the show. Also, the highest and the lowest scores were cancelled, to eliminate favoritism.
At the end of each program, the lowest-scored couples were revealed. The next week, they confronted each other in a Dance-Off. Then, the judges voted to eliminate a couple. The couple with the highest number of votes from the judges were eliminated.
