America's ballroom challenge returning to PBS

[debmc]

It looks like the pro events at Ohio will be televised on PBS...not live though, from what I can tell. That is great to get some TV coverage of authentic dancesport! So glad it's back!

I am going to encourage everyone I know who thinks DWTS represents ballroom to watch OSB instead! Time for the lay people to see what real ballroom looks like!

This is a great idea! Hopefully, we'll get an idea when this is going to air in enough time to spread the word.

I hope it gets good ratings. I am soooo tired of people outside the dance world thinking that what is on DWTS represents ballroom. It will be great for them to see what the current top group of pros look like and what the actual dances look like!

This program is what got me interested in ballroom dancing. Glad it will be produced again!

Ditto. The announcement came from them in my Facebook news feed. It's also on the OSB website. So stoked!
