Bailando por un Sueño (literally "Dancing for a dream"; known simply as Bailando) is an Argentine dancing competition show airing since 2006 as part of the Showmatch Franchise on El Trece. The show is the Argentine version of the Mexican television series of the same name. Marcelo Tinelli is the Martín Fierro-winning host in each season, as well in all of the spin-off shows derived from this one like Cantando por un Sueño (2006-2007;2011-2012), Patinando por un Sueño (2007-2008), El Musical de tus Sueños (2009), Bailando Kids (2009) and Soñando por Bailar (2011-2012).
Originally, the format of the show consisted of a celebrity paired with an amateur dancer called dreamer. They had to demonstrate their skills in various styles in order to fulfill the amateur dancer's dream. Since season 5, nevertheless, the show consists of a standard dancing competition conformed by a celebrity and a professional partner representing a charity. Several dreamers of early seasons came back as professionals in later years.
Unlike other international versions, the show airs four times a week and runs by seven to nine months per season, as it includes a large number of contestants. This means the couples dance a single style per round and the whole process takes several episodes to complete, so all the remaining couples don't dance in each episode.
Marcelo Tinelli has been the host since the program's premiere in 2006. Bailando originally was planned as a segment of the comedy show Showmatch, which Tinelli lead since early 1990. (previously known as Videomatch).
