Dancing Brasil Júnior is a Brazilian children's reality television series based on the ABC celebrity dance competition , produced by Endemol Shine in partnership with BBC Worldwide.
The show features celebrity children (either in their own right or having celebrity parentage) paired with professional junior ballroom dancers and mentored by an adult professional dancer from the main show. The couples compete against each other by performing choreographed dance routines in front of a panel of judges.
Unlike its parent series, the public's involvement was limited to the direct in-studio audience members during the show's recording. Each audience member used a hand-held device to score each dancing team, with the team having the highest combined score overall (judges and studio) becoming the winner.
It aired on Wednesday, 19 December 2018 at 10:30 p.m. (BRT / AMT) on RecordTV originally as a stand-alone Dancing Brasil special but also intended as a backdoor pilot for a potential spin-off full series.[1] [2]
