This show is okay. Although after a wild, it starts to get old and boring. The dancing is exciting, and it is good to see different styles of ballroom dancing. There is somewhat of a good message because people are working hard towards their goals of becoming the champion. There are some suggestive dance moves, especially in the more romantic dances. Also, there are women dressed in revealing costumes (but that is not that much of an issue.)

What Parents Need to Know
About Dancing with the Stars
Parents need to know that female dancers wear revealing outfits. There is occasional mild profanity (such as "kick butt"). On a positive note, the dancers are models for young viewers of strength, athleticism, and confidence. Fans can upload their own dance move videos via the show's Web site.

Families can also discuss the learning that occurs from constructive criticism as demonstrated by the judges. They could also talk about whether or not it's realistic to learn to dance this well in such a short amount of time.

Ok.........................
Just fun. My family likes to watch the celebrities try to pull off a tango! Revealing outfits, just normal dancing. Nothing good or bad comes out of it.
