The Eurovision Dance Contest 2007 was the inaugural Eurovision Dance Contest a dance entertainment co-production between the EBU and the BBC. The first ever pan-European dance competition was held on 1 September, 2007 in London, United Kingdom with the participation of 16 countries. Viewers cast their votes by telephone and SMS text message voting on each couple's two dances – the first being ballroom or Latin with the second being freestyle, with a "national" flavour.
The winner was Finland who received a total of 132 points.
Production
The contest was hosted by the BBC,[2] and was a co-production by Splash Media – run by the developers of its successful Strictly Come Dancing format – and sports production house Sunset + Vine – with help from the International DanceSport Federation and in association with the European Broadcasting Union.
Comedian Graham Norton and Claudia Winkleman presented the 2007 contest from the BBC Television Centre in London.
The contest was broadcast in English and French languages, although France did not take part.[3] Each broadcaster also had the option of providing its own commentators at the event. UK commentators were Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli.
Participants
The Croatian broadcaster HRT had expressed an interest in taking part, but pulled out due to costs and scheduling problems.[citation needed]
As well as those countries that took part, Albania, Armenia, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cyprus, Iceland, Israel and FYR Macedonia also broadcast the contest despite not taking part in it, with possibility to join it in 2008.[4]
Due to the forest fires in Greece the Greek national broadcaster ERT did not air the show live and therefore used jury instead of televoting.[5]
Austria and Portugal both finished with the same number of points, however, Austria received points from every other participating nation thus receiving points from more countries than Portugal, hence Austria took 5th place.
