TAMPA - "Dancing with the Stars," ABC's No. 1 rated unscripted show is hitting the road and bringing its most popular team of stars and professional dancers from seasons one through three to the St. Pete Times Forum on Tuesday, Jan. 23, 7:30pm.
Attracting an average audience of more than 19 million viewers, "Dancing with the Stars" currently ranks among the top five most-watched shows on all of television, also qualifying as the TV's No. 1 unscripted program.

The two hour show will feature a larger-than-life recreation of the TV show's actual stage with intimate nightclub style table seating on the floor allowing fans unparalleled sightlines and access to all of the action. As with the network show there will be a live orchestra to accompany the dancers with popular modern day songs that have become a much loved aspect of the program.
