Premise[]

DWTS judges Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba chose and trained two rival teams of singing/dancing amateur performers that competed against each other. The winning team at the end of the season were rewarded a recording deal with Hollywood Records.

After the audition show, the show went live with the top fourteen contestants. They were divided into teams of six (three males and three females) with two contestants cut from the competition. In future shows, the two teams competed in various dance styles. Viewers voted for their favorite team. The captain of the losing team (either Bruno or Carrie Ann) had to pick one of the team members to leave the show for good.
