The cruise line I work for recently added a “Dancing with the Stars at Sea” show onboard several of its ships. The competition uses modified dances from the “Dancing with the Stars” TV show. Stars from the actual show will be on our ship this summer for a special themed cruise, but members of our cast are the pros in the competition. We taught three 1 hour classes last cruise (waltz, jive, cha cha). Six passengers were selected and paired with “pros” whom which they competed with in a huge production show. One winner will be selected from each cruise through November and then they will compete against winners from other ships on another (free!) cruise in January. This was a huge learning process and a lot of work, but it has been rewarding and passengers really seem to enjoy it.
