Dancing with the Stars is an Albanian dance competition television series that premiered on 18 February 2010 on Vizion Plus and Tring Digital. It is the Albanian version of the British reality TV competition Strictly Come Dancing and is part of the Dancing with the Stars franchise. The show pairs celebrities with professional dancers. Each couple performs predetermined dances and competes against the others for judges' points and audience votes. The couple receiving the lowest combined total of judges' points and audience votes is eliminated each week until only the champion dance pair remains.

The show aired until 8 June 2018 on Vizion Plus and Tring Digital. On 10 June 2022, it was announced that beginning with the 8th season, Dancing with the Stars would move from Vizion Plus to Top Channel.[1] On 7 October 2022 it began airing the eighth season. On the final of the eighth season, it was announced that the ninth season will begin airing very soon on Top Channel,[2] with the season premiering on 6 October 2023.[3] In September 2024, the executive producer Sara Hoxha announced that the show would be on hiatus for the 2024-2025 television season.[4]
