Television dance shows' popularity continues to soar. One great example: ABC's 'Dancing With the Stars,' which pairs celebrities with professional dance partners, has consistently been among the highest rated network programs in recent years. The celebrity/professional pair competes for the coveted Mirror Ball trophy. The show is actually based on the British TV series 'Strictly Come Dancing.' Other popular TV dance shows that feature competition include FOX's 'So You Think You Can Dance' and 'Randy Jackson Presents: America's Best Dance Crew' on MTV.

Dance reality TV shows include Lifetime's 'Dance Moms,' which follows the lives of young dancers, and the mothers that push them (sometimes, too hard). The CW's 'Breaking Pointe' follows members of Salt Lake City's Ballet West, as they endure the challenges of dancing for a professional company.
