Season six featured a thematic approach where each batch of competing dancers
had to follow a theme. There was a batch of dancers where Streetboys member Spencer Reyes was pitted against Body Language diva Pia Moran in the finals. There was also a batch of comedians who competed, with Empoy, Joy Viado and Malou Crisologo vying for the title. There was an “all-singers” batch where Nina, Tuesday and Sitti traded their microphones for their dancing shoes.

The seventh season of the show, which is ongoing, kicked off with not just three but five celebrity contestants in the first batch. In this season, SWD gave a second chance to former challengers who weren’t able tomake it to the finals during their first stint in the show. These were funnyman Long Mejia, actress Assunta da Rossi, boxer-turned-comedian Onyok Velasco and sexy star Angelica Jones. SWD’s very own Dominic Ochoa, Lucy Torres-Gomez’s co-host since the show’s inception, completed the line-up for the first batch.

Onyok and Angelica were the last two standing and competed in the finale with wildcard finalist Alex Crisano.
For the first time in the show, a wildcard finalist won in the finals when Alex defeated Onyok and Angelica in one intense dance battle royale.

Last Sunday, Shall We Dance: The Celebrity Dance Challenge introduced a new batch of celebrity contestants. For batch two, Shall We Dance features celebrities who have already transformed themselves – sweet-star-turned-sexy Michelle Madrigal, Fil-German-beauty-turned Hot Babe Jen Rosendahl, Kilabot-ng-Senado-turned-big winner Keanna Reeves, noontime-host-turned-vice-mayor Teri Onor and simple-man-turned-rapper Gloc 9. They will compete every week until someone transforms again, and this time into a champion ballroom dancer.
