Tantsud tähtedega (Estonian: Dancing with the Stars) is an Estonian television reality show that aired on Kanal 2 and season six on TV3. It debuted on 8 October 2006, and it became a popular television show in Estonia. It is based on the British reality show Strictly Come Dancing. The series was produced by BEC productions and ended in 2011.
The show introduces eight Estonian celebrities paired with professional ballroom dancers who each week compete to impress a panel of judges and the viewing public to survive potential elimination. Through a telephone poll, viewers vote for those couples who should stay. 50% of the public votes and the average score given by the panel of judges go towards deciding who should leave. Proceeds from the voting go to charity.
Six seasons have been produced, in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2022.
