El Gran Show (which means "The Amazing Show") was a popular dance reality competition show. It aired in Peru on América Televisión from 2010 to 2017. The show was based on the Mexican TV series Bailando por un sueño.

The main host of El Gran Show was Gisela Valcárcel. She was joined by different co-hosts over the years. These included Cristian Rivero, Óscar López Arias, Paco Bazán, Jaime "Choca" Mandros, and Miguel Arce.

How the Show Works

El Gran Show was a dance competition with a special twist. Each season, celebrities teamed up with amateur dancers. These amateur dancers were called "Dreamers."

Who Participated?

The celebrities came from many different fields. They included actors, models, singers, athletes, and television hosts. The "Dreamers" were talented people who needed help to achieve a goal.

The Dreamers' Goals

The show focused on helping these "Dreamers." Each "Dreamer" had a specific goal or "dream." This dream was often about solving a personal problem. It could also be about helping someone else in need. For example, a dream might be to pay for a family member's medical treatment. Or it could be to fund a community project.

The Competition

The show had a format similar to other dance competitions. Eleven couples, each made up of a "Dreamer" and a celebrity, competed. They performed different dance styles each week. A panel of judges scored their performances.

Weekly Eliminations

After the judges' scores, viewers could vote for their favorite couples. The couple with the fewest votes each week was eliminated. This made the competition very exciting.

The Grand Finale

The competition continued for about ten weeks. In the final show, only two couples remained. They competed one last time. The winning couple's "Dreamer" would then have their dream come true. This showed how dancing talent could help people achieve important goals.
