Actress Tong Liya and singer Li Wei will pair up this week for a dance

Celebrity dance competition Strictly Come Dancing (舞动奇迹) returns to Hunan TV after three years. This year, Hunan TV has opted for a more up and coming star cast rather than a mix of Hunan and TVB artist. The variety including acting talents like Palace’s Tong Liya and Fall in Love’s Jiang Kaitong, singers like singer-composer Allen Su Xing and iMe’s Liu Meihan; Hunan TV hosts Sun Xiaoxiao and Wu Yang, as well as model/Bu Bu Jing Xin actress Liu Yuxin. A few professionals, like the one-legged Cui Xiaowei and acrobatic Bai Luchen are also in the cast.

The first episode featured fun dances like Super Mario  as well as beautiful ones like Madame Lady Snake and The King’s Speech. In the first three episodes, four males will be eliminated. The male-females will then be paired up to compete together in future rounds. For the first episode, groups of three were picked by the show. At the end of each episode, the males and females try to pair up, with the male taking the initiative. Episodes broadcast on Sunday nights on Hunan TV.
