Concept[edit]

The show is a competition wherein 10 television celebrity couples compete against each other. Contestants dance to a different tune, different theme and different styles every week and scores are given by the judges. Each week one couple is eliminated based on public voting and their scores. Season 8 is a bit different because the contestants all are not television celebrities.
