Tantsi z zirkamy (season 5)


Tantsi z zirkamy , the Ukrainian version of Dancing with the Stars returned for its fifth season in Autumn 2017, following a 10-year hiatus. Unlike season 4, season 5 aired on the show's original network, 1+1.
Following the announcement of the show's comeback, a viral challenge was started by the show's producers to progressively reveal this season's cast. Each nominated celebrity had to post a video to their social media accounts under the hashtag #танціззіркамиchallenge , either accepting or declining the invitation to participate. The nominated celebrity also had to pass on the challenge by nominating another person.
On July 5, Yuriy Horbunov became the first celebrity to confirm his participation as the host of the show. He nominated the runner-up couple of seasons 1 and 3, Natalia Mohylevska and Vladyslav Yama, who both confirmed their participation in the upcoming season. On August 12, it was announced that Yama would join the judging panel, while Mohylevska would participate in the series as a celebrity contestant. This marked the third time Mohylevska competed on the show, having previously participated in the first season in 2006, followed by an all-stars season in 2007, with a second place finish on both occasions.
The first celebrity to confirm their participation as a contestant was travel show host Dmytro Komarov. Kateryna Kukhar, National Opera of Ukraine ballerina, accepted a position on the judging panel. Following Komarov, the invitation to participate was accepted by Eurovision Song Contest 2017 host Oleksandr Skichko, lead singer of Vremya i Steklo Nadya Dorofeeva, Crimean Tatar actor and movie director Ahtem Seytablayev, TV psychologist Natalia Kholodenko, singer and socialite Kamaliya, singer and TV host Olya Polyakova as well as actor and comedian Yuriy Tkach. On July 16, TV host and singer Volodymyr Dantes became the first celebrity to decline the invitation to compete, while on July 28 singer and dancer Monatik confirmed his participation as a judge. On August 19, singer and The Voice of Ukraine judge Serhiy Babkin became the final celebrity to announce their participation.
During the first live show on August 27, it was announced that each week, Yuriy Horbunov would be joined by a new guest host. Guest hosts for each live show can be found in the table below.
On October 29, actor and director Ahtem Seytablayev and his partner Olena Shoptenko finished in third place, singer Nadya Dorofeeva and her partner Yevhen Kot finished second, while singer Natalia Mohylevska and her partner Ihor Kuzmenko were crowned champions. This marks the first win for Mohylevska, who has finished in second place twice before – in season 1 and season 3. Mohylevska has also made history for being the only celebrity to ever participate in the show three times. In terms of viewer votes, Mohylevska and Kuzmenko had an over 20% lead over runners-up Dorofeeva & Kot.
