The show was a joint production of Endemol Southern Star and Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
Whilst the actual show is only a half-hour segment and appears to be live, the creation takes over eight hours and competitors usually have ample time to return home and watch themselves on TV, and as such are made to sign a contract forbidding them from revealing their final position.
Voice-over commentary is provided during the dancing by two commentators consisting of Angela Gilltrap and actor Lex Marinos, as in sports broadcasting, with a selected highlight being repeated at the end of the round.
At the end of each show, the live studio audience is invited to come onto the floor and dance.
The Season Two Grand Final was a one-hour show that aired on ABC television on 26 November 2004.
