The sixteenth edition of the show hosted by Milly Carlucci which sees VIPs struggling with dance, in the company of professional dancers, starts on Saturday 16 October 2021 at 20.35 on Rai 1 Dancing with the stars 2021. In all, ten episodes for one of the most followed and loved programs by the public. Alongside the presenter we find Paolo Belli, who leads his Big Band, and the dreaded jury led by Carolyn Smith. But who are the contestants, the cast, the dancers and the judges of this edition of Dancing with the stars? Here’s everything you need to know.
Cast: conductors and competitors
The hostess is obviously Milly Carlucci, ready to turn on the track of the Auditorium of the Foro Italico in Rome again. After many indiscretions about the competitors of this sixteenth edition, the official cast has finally been announced, with the thirteen VIPs who will compete with each other in performances. “We are very excited. For all of us it is the edition of the rebirth after that of the resistance, of the pandemic, with all the problems we have had ”, revealed the presenter, adding that at the beginning there will be a tribute to the great Raffaella Carrà. Here then are the thirteen competitors of Dancing with the Stars 2021:
- Arisa (singer)
- Mietta (singer)
- Sabrina Salerno (singer)
- Valeria Fabrizi (actress)
- Bianca Gascoigne (model)
- Federico Fashion Style (stylist)
- Andrea Iannone (sporty)
- Valerio Rossi Albertini (physical and academic)
- Morgan (singer)
- Alvise Rigo (template)
- Fabio Galante (former football player)
- Memo Remigi (singer)
- Al Bano (singer)
Each of them will bring something new to the floor, not only potential and technique in the dance, but also aspects of the personality that never before had shown in public. A cast, at least on paper of absolute level and transversal. Among the most anticipated competitors certainly a sacred monster like Al Bano, which thus breaks a historical taboo of the program, namely that of having faces among its competitors never seen in other reality shows. The volcanic Morgan will certainly be talked about, presents already anticipated months ago by TPI.
A lot of curiosity also for Sabrina Salerno, an icon showgirl of the Eighties and Nineties and protagonist of an evening of the Sanremo 2020 Festival and the actress Valeria Fabrizi, beloved Sister Costanza of the fictional God Help us. From the world of sport comes the former footballer Fabio Galante and Andrea Iannone. Other singers who try their hand at dance are Arisa, Mietta and Memo Remigi. There will also be two beautiful models such as Alvise Rico and Bianca Gascoigne. There will also be the hairdresser of the VIPs Federico Lauri (aka Federico Fashion Style) and the physicist Valerio Rossi Albertini. In short, at Dancing with the stars 2021 there is something for all tastes. Each couple will stage their personal journey, which will lead them episode after episode to the final of this 16th edition.
As per tradition, there will be dancers for one night. The great Pippo Baudo has already been confirmed for the first episode of 16 October. The presenter par excellence, whose unmistakable style has entered the collective imagination of entire generations. Among other things, as soon as he was awarded the honor of Knight of the Grand Cross of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic by the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella, Baudo will learn in a few hours an ad hoc choreography, to be performed during the live broadcast of the program. His performance will be evaluated by the jury present in the studio and the score obtained will be used to improve the ranking of one of the couples in the competition. Other names still to be confirmed are that of the sprinter Marcell Jacobs, the Italian national team coach Roberto Mancini and the former footballer Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima. Mara Venier should also return in an episode of this 16th edition.

There will be many tests that the thirteen couples in the competition will face every Saturday evening: Caribbean, standard, Latin American dances, but also surprise tests that will serve to evaluate their degree of preparation, subjecting themselves to the evaluation of the jury of experts and of the popular one. . All the musical moments of each episode will be entrusted to Paolo Belli and his Big Band, who will accompany, live, the performance of the dancers to the rhythm of songs arranged according to the musical styles of each single competition.
Dancing with the stars 2021: the jury
Who are the judges of the Rai 1 dancing show? The judges of the program have been the same since 2016. We will therefore meet again Selvaggia Lucarelli, Ivan Zazzaroni, Fabio Canino, Carolyn Smith and Guillermo Mariotto. They have the task of evaluating, not without some controversy and provocation, the performances of the 13 VIPs in the competition. “I would not change anything because that jury represents the public in its entirety”, said the hostess Milly Carlucci, and so it was.
Also confirmed the pair of commentators “on the sidelines” formed by Alberto Matano and Roberta Bruzzone, to which this year will be added Alessandra Mussolini, already a competitor in the last edition paired with Samuel Peron. Their opinion will be counterbalanced also this year by a “people’s sworn”, Rossella Erra, who will have the opportunity to contest the votes and in one phase of the race to deny them by rewarding some of the “penalized” competitors.
How to vote
To determine which competitors will be able to go on during the episodes of this sixteenth edition and who will be eliminated is, as always, the public from home. How to vote in Dancing with the Stars 2021? The final judgment on eliminations and promotions will always be up to the public from home who will have the opportunity to participate in the competition by voting for their favorite couples directly on social networks: on the official profiles of Dancing with the stars (Further useful links). “On Twitter and Instagram you will have to vote with a little heart and on Facebook only with the Like button (reactions will not be counted) ”, explained Milly Carlucci.
