I saw a program on TV last week called "Dancing With The Stars".  This was new for me.  When did this show hit the airwaves?
I am not sure when it started but it was around in 2006 and 2007 as it was the most popular in the world. 
I must have been hiding in my cave.  What is the purpose of this show, and why do they pair up with celebrities?
The celebrities are on a team with professional ballroom dancers and compete each week. 
Is Ballroom Dancing really a thing in the age of rap music and thug life and meme culture?  Are you sure this is a really popular show or are you pulling my leg?
It is very real, and the viewers get to vote for their favorite by the phone or online.
