Super Dança dos Famosos is the eighteenth season of the Brazilian reality television show Dança dos Famosos which premiered on May 16, 2021, at (BRT / AMT) on TV Globo, following a two-week cast reveal special that aired on May 2–9.

It is the first season to feature an "all-star" cast, in which previous celebrities who have competed on the show have another chance to win the competition. However, 9 of the returning finalists had already won the title in prior seasons (Juliana Didone, Robson Caetano, Christiane Torloni, Paolla Oliveira, Rodrigo Simas, Marcello Melo Jr., Viviane Araújo, Maria Joana and Lucy Ramos).

Season 12 saw the most returning contestants, with 3 out of the 18 contestants (Arthur Aguiar, Mariana Santos and Viviane Araújo). Christiane Torloni is the only contestant reunited with her original partner.

It was the last season hosted by Fausto Silva and airing as a segment on Domingão do Faustão; reportedly due to a medical issue, Tiago Leifert filled in as host on June 13, 2021—the first time Silva had ever missed an episode of Domingão.^[1] It was subsequently announced on June 17 that Faustão had left TV Globo, Domingão do Faustão had been cancelled and the remainder of Super Dança dos Famosos would air as a standalone series, with Leifert remaining as host.^{[2] [3] [4]}

On August 29, 2021, actress Paolla Oliveira & Leandro Azevedo won the competition over actor Rodrigo Simas & Nathalia Ramos and actress Dandara Mariana & Diego Maia, who took 2nd and 3rd place respectively, thus becoming the show's first two-time champion. In addition, Leandro Azevedo became the first professional to win the competition three times.^[5]
