DanSing for You is a Cypriot reality show airing on Mega Channel Cyprus and filming live in Nicosia.
The show combines the dance and the singing. It first aired on September 11, 2011 and it has a charity purpose. The viewers vote every week via phone and/or text for which couple they want to continue on the show. At the end of every live one couple from the dancing part of the competition and one from the singing part gets eliminated.
Each season, the money from the voting process go to a specific organization. The first season's income went to the Pediatric Oncology Unit of Makarios Hospital in Nicosia, the second's to the Pancyprian Association "Gia Ena Oneiro, Mia Euxi" (For a Dream, a Wish)[1] and the third's to the Anticancer Association of Cyprus.[2]
Since its premiere in 2010, the show was hosted by Christiana Aristotelous. There was also a co-host for the backstage room, also known as Green Room. The co-host for all three seasons was Vagelis Evaggelou.
