America's Ballroom Challenge returns to KET with a two-hour primetime broadcast event, once again featuring 24 world-class couples competing across dance styles in pursuit of the title "America's Best." The special airs Wednesday, Feb. 25 at 9/8 p.m. CT on KET1 and KET HD.Recorded at the world's largest ballroom dancing competition in Columbus, Ohio, the critically acclaimed program features all four major dance styles -- American Smooth, American Rhythm, International Standard and International Latin. The highlights of the program are the "show dances," where each couple has the floor to themselves. An international panel of judges decides which couple walks away with the crown.
Actress, singer and dancer Jean Louisa Kelly and seven-time U.S. National Latin Dance champion Ron Montez are co-hosts.
America's Ballroom Challenge is produced by WGBH/Boston. More information about KET programming and education services, as well as how to support KET, can be found at www.ket.org.
