Bailando 2012

Bailando 2011 was the seventh Argentinean season of Bailando por un Sueño. The season premiere aired on May 16, 2011 on El Trece with 30 couples, including same-sex pairs for the first time in the Argentinean show – José María Muscari in the male couple; in the female couple, initially Silvina and Vanina Escudero, then Silvina Escudero and Sofía Pachano – and, for the first time in the world, a contestant with dwarfism: Noelia Pompa, a singer. The premiere featured special appearances by Mariano Martinez, Carolina "Pampita" Ardohaín, Ariel "El Burrito" Ortega, Alberto Cormillot (the physician of Cuestión de Peso (Argentina) [es:]), and Griselda Siciliani, who performed dance routines during the show's opening. The competition began on May 17 and featured a special guest, the Brazilian footballer Ronaldinho.[1] The premiere drew a 37.1% rating, smashing the competition.[2] As in previous seasons the cast also included international celebrities: Pamela Anderson, Mike Tyson and Larissa Riquelme.[3][4]

The jury initially consisted of Graciela Alfano, Flavio Mendoza, Moria Casán, Anibal Pachano, and Carmen Barbieri.[5][6] In weeks 3, 5, and 6 Carmen was replaced by Marcelo Polino,[7] but she returned following the departure of Graciela Alfano. Later Graciela came back to replace Carmen in Rotating room and Music from the Movies round.[8]

The winner was revealed on the season finale, on December 22, 2011: singer Noelia Pompa, paired with professional classic dancer Hernán Piquín, with 52.59% of the public vote.
