Skal vi danse (lit. 'Shall we dance?') is a Norwegian television series which has been broadcast on TV 2 and produced by Monster Entertainment since 2006. The series sees celebrities partner with professional dancers to compete in mainly ballroom and Latin dance. The pairs each week compete by performing one or more choregraphed routines that usually revolve around a prearranged theme for that particular week. Each pair is then scored by a panel of judges and the viewers. The viewers are given a short time to place votes for their favourite pairs, usually online. Once all the votes have been added up, the pair with the lowest combined score is eliminated. This process continues until there are only two pairs left, who will compete against each other in a final before one is crowned the winner. It is based on the British reality TV competition Strictly Come Dancing and is part of the Dancing with the Stars franchise. Skal vi danse is currently presented by Helene Olafsen and Anders Hoff. It is broadcast on Saturday evenings. Since the second season, it has been broadcast every autumn, typically starting in August or September. In January 2024, TV 2 confirmed that Skal vi danse would temporarily be put on hold in 2024, and that it would return for its 20th season in 2025.
