Dance Se Puder (season 1)

Dance Se Puder (Dance If You Can) is a Brazilian talent show, presented as a segment on Programa Eliana, from the SBT network. Several celebrities compete dancing various music styles. They perform to a panel usually consisting of three judges. Viewers can vote and eliminate a participant per round.^[3]

The Judges

Contestants are given points from 0 to 10 by three judges, including the choreographers Jaime Arôxa and Ivan Santos, which is present in almost all stages of the competition, along with a guest. At the end of the competition, the winner will take a cash prize of R$50,000.^[4]

Format

Two groups with five members each compete. Each contestant has to dance to a song chosen randomly and each has a week to prepare a dance performance. The two groups don't compete in the same week. The Supimpas show up on a Sunday and the Five Stars are presented in the following Sunday. Each contestant receives a score on a scale from 0 to 10 by the three jugdes. The three scores are calculated and the results of each group member are added together to form the final score. After the presentation and scores of the Five Stars, it's time to know which team scored higher. The team that has scored the most points is the winner, and all members are safe from elimination. The loser team is in the hot seat and the teammate who scored the less is automatically up for elimination. Plus, the loser team have to choose a second teammate of their own to face the audience's preference. The vote is set by text message.

In the second round, it was decided that one of the members of the Five Stars would have their points disregarded so that the average score of the teams would be balanced. Pedro Henrique was chosen, ironically being the one who had more points for his team in that round. If the Five Stars lost because of Pedro Henrique, he could not be placed in the bottom two since he won invencibility.

After the elimination of Jean in the third round, the Supimpas was depleted due to two consecutive eliminations. So the solution was move a member of the Five Stars to the Supimpas. Gabriel was chosen and a random song was chosen for him for the fourth round.

In the fourth round the teams merged.
