Country music singer Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough were crowned the champions, while Disney Channel star Zendaya and Valentin Chmerkovskiy finished in second place, and Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Jacoby Jones and Karina Smirnoff finished third.

Eleven celebrities and their professional partners were announced on February 26, 2013, on Good Morning America, with Jacoby Jones' participation having been confirmed two days earlier during a network promo that aired during the 85th Oscars.

The dance troupe consisted of Oksana Dmytrenko, Henry Byalikov, Emma Slater, and Sasha Farber, along with new members Witney Carson and Julian Tocker.

Color key: Individual judges' scores in the charts below (given in parentheses) are listed in this order from left to right: Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli.

[1] All couples participated in a team freestyle, where Jacoby & Karina and Zendaya & Val each received two bonus points, plus one unlearned dance.

For each dance-off, the judges chose a winning couple and added three bonus points to their scores.

Each couple chose one professional who was either previously eliminated or had participated in the dance troupe to perform with them.

On night one, each couple performed a dance chosen by one of the judges, a cha-cha-cha relay, and a supersized freestyle routine.
