Dancing with the Stars: Juniors
Dancing with the Stars: Juniors is an American children's dance competition television series that premiered on October 7, 2018 on ABC. It is a spin-off of the Dancing with the Stars series. The format of the show features celebrity children (either in their own right or having celebrity parentage) paired with professional junior ballroom dancers and mentored by an adult professional dancer. The couples compete against each other by performing choreographed dance routines in front of a panel of judges.[1] In September 2019, ABC decided to cancel the series after one season.[2]

Format
Like Dancing with the Stars, the scores used for eliminations are based 50% on judges scores and 50% on audience voting. There is no home audience voting like its parent series though, and voting is limited to the direct in-studio audience members during each week's episode recording. Each audience member uses a hand-held voting device to advance their preferred dancing team to the next round, with the team having the fewest votes and lowest judges scores overall eliminated.[3]
