Strictly Come Dancing (South African TV series)

Strictly Come Dancing (South African TV series) is a South African reality television show based on the British BBC Television series Strictly Come Dancing, and part of the Dancing with the Stars franchise. The show pairs South African celebrities with professional ballroom dancers who compete each week in a dance competition to impress a panel of judges and the viewing public. Couples are eliminated based on a combination of judges' scores and viewer votes. The ultimate goal is to be crowned the winner of the season, receiving the coveted Glitterball Trophy.

The South African version has aired for several seasons, broadcast on various television channels, including SABC 2 and M-Net. Over the years, the show has featured a variety of well-known South African personalities from the fields of acting, music, sports, and media. The judges have also varied over the seasons, typically consisting of experienced dancers and figures from the entertainment industry.

The format generally follows the established Dancing with the Stars structure: each week the couples perform a choreographed routine in a specific dance style, such as the waltz, tango, cha-cha-cha, or jive. The judges provide critiques and scores, and the public votes for their favorite couples. The couple with the lowest combined score is eliminated. The show has contributed to popularizing ballroom and Latin dancing in South Africa and has provided a platform for local dancers and celebrities alike. Details regarding specific hosts, judges, celebrity participants, and winners vary from season to season.
