While attempting to impress the judges with their dancing skills, the masked celebrities share clues to their hidden identities. At the end of each episode, the panel must vote on the best performances to decide who goes through to the next round, while trying to guess their true identities, which are only revealed upon elimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked why South African audiences would enjoy the show, Oti Mabuse said \u201cIt\u2019s a brilliant entertainment show and it\u2019s for the whole family. I know South Africans love dancing and this is a dance show that will shock their mind… and there is a South African on the panel! Every moment was a positive one filled with love and light. I laughed so much and had the time of my life and I\u2019m sure South African audiences who tune in, will experience this too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
