Anne Igartiburu returns to TVE with a bold new project in prime time on La 1. It isn’t Mira qué baila making a comeback; instead, the public broadcaster has revealed a fresh program hosted by a familiar face this Thursday. The show promises high energy and a dynamic focus on dance as a form of performance and artistry, inviting audiences to watch dancers push their limits and showcase a wide range of styles.
Created and produced by Zeppelin, the team famous for Big Brother, this bold new format assembles sixteen seasoned dance professionals who will face a demanding challenge: proving they are the most complete dancers and choreographers across multiple disciplines. From contemporary and hip‑hop to house and jazz, the spectrum of dance styles on display is wide, and the competition is structured to test versatility, precision, and stage presence at a professional level.
In the premiere, each of the eight celebrities will select a partner from among the professionals to form a duo. The unselected dancers will become part of a reserve pool, ready to step in as needed. The choice of a partner will carry significant weight, as it determines the pairing that could drive the team to victory. The format emphasizes the collaboration between star and dancer, where chemistry, trust, and shared vision become essential to the performance.
These duos consist of one dancer and one celebrity. Every week a panel of judges will evaluate their performances, setting a path for the competition that balances technique with showmanship. The professional dancer’s fate in the show depends on ongoing assessments, and if a pair falters, a change of teacher or mentorship might be introduced to help them rebound and bring their best to the stage in the next round.
The announcement of Anne Igartiburu as the host of Baila as you can follows a day after Telecinco shared news about the new edition of Dancing with the Stars. The show will feature a fresh lineup of presenters and a renewed energy as it prepares to debut soon, with fans eager to see how the celebrity contestants bring their energy and personality to the dance floor, and how the hosts manage the dynamic between judges, partners, and the studio audience.
At this time, neither Dance While You Can nor Dancing with the Stars has revealed the VIP attendees for their respective editions on La 1 and Telecinco. The anticipation around guest appearances, high-profile celebrities, and surprise performances is part of the growing interest in these big‑ticket dance programs, which aim to entertain while highlighting athleticism, artistry, and the personal stories behind the performers. Viewers can expect a blend of rigorous training, creative choreography, and the kind of behind-the-scenes drama that makes reality competitions so compelling to watch season after season.
