Bailando Kids

Summary

Bailando Kids is an Argentine dancing competition show on the show Bailando por un Sueño (which is, at the same time, the Argentine version of Dancing with the Stars) involving couples composed of children from 7 to 12 years old who are judged by a jury. It was broadcast by El Trece and the host was Marcelo Tinelli during the first three weeks and then José María Listorti during the next four. It premiered on May 7, 2009 and the season finale was on June 19, 2009. The show was strongly criticized by various sectors for manipulation of the child competitors.
