Eurovision Dance Contest 2008

[1] The winners of contest were Edyta Herbuś and Marcin Mroczek of Poland who achieved a score of 154 points.

[1] A panel of experts was introduced with an approximate weight of 23% of the total outcome and the rest 77% determined through televoting.

Since the opening of the original buildings in 1985, the complex has undergone two major expansions; the first being the SEC Armadillo in 1997, and then the OVO Hydro arena in 2013.

[9] In July, they held a national selection show Quiero Bailar and named singer Rosa López and dancer Nieto as their representatives in the contest.

[3] The opening of the show featured Red Hot Chilli Pipers playing a Scottish-flavoured medley of known songs, with all participating couples presented on stage in order of performance.

[11] The interval act featured a group dance routine and was followed by soprano Lesley Garrett and the Carousel cast, performing a medley of "June Is Bustin' Out All Over" and "You'll Never Walk Alone" accompanied by the City of Glasgow Chorus.

[2] Since the representatives for Azerbaijan and Greece both consisted of two professional dancers, however, it is not clear why their entries were considered valid.

It is worth noting that, had the judges not been introduced (and thus only the televote been used), Poland would still have won the competition by 31 points.

[18] Among the countries that took part, Albania, Armenia, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cyprus, Macedonia, Iceland, Israel, Malta and Spain also broadcast the event without sending representatives.
