Dancing With the Stars season 31 has come to a close and one couple has won the coveted mirrorball trophy. This season the competition show was streaming live coast to coast on Disney+ for the very first time, and is the first show to stream live on the platform.

A new group of dancing darlings took the ballroom by storm, including actress Selma Blair, drag queen superstar Shangela, and comedian Wayne Brady. Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough all returned as judges, along with host Tyra Banks and new co-host Alfonso Ribeiro, who was the DWTS season 19 champion.

See below for who was eliminated each week, and which star won the season.

Jason Lewis and Peta Murgatroyd

Sex and the City star Jason Lewis was the first celeb eliminated in the season 31 premiere after his cha cha failed to impress the judges. You know Samantha Jones' PR firm would've found a way to spin this, but simply put, it's sad to see Smith Jerrod — I mean, Jason Lewis go.

Cheryl Ladd and Louis van Amstel

Charlie's Angels star Cheryl Ladd proved that "Diamonds Are Forever," but her spot on the show isn't. Her week 3 Bond night Rumba earned her the second lowest score of the night and the judges voted for her to go.

Sam Champion and Cheryl Burke

Good Morning America contributor and New York weather anchor Sam Champion reunited with longtime pal Cheryl Burke to fulfill his childhood dreams of dancing. But the judges wanted more intensity in his performances and voted to eliminate him in week 4.

Although not technically eliminated, actress Selma Blair had to withdraw from the competition due to complications from her multiple sclerosis. On her last performance she said, "This is a dance for everyone who had tried and hoped they could do more, but also the power in realizing when it's time to walk away."

Fitness model Joseph Baena heard praises from the judges week after week, even winning the title of "best rumba by a male" from judge Carrie Ann Inaba. But in a shocking twist only a day later, Baena was eliminated.

Country singer Jessie James Decker showed improvement each week, even winning Prom Queen in week 5's dance marathon. But she's Comin' Home after her salsa earned low scores on Michael Bublé night.

Jordin Sparks and Brandon Armstrong

American Idol winner Jordin Sparks came into the competition foreign to dance but grew to love it as the weeks went on. After her elimination in week 7, she said that she's excited to continue dancing.

Heidi D'Amelio and Artem Chigvintsev

Heidi D'Amelio, The D'Amelio Show star and mom to TikTok influencers Charli and Dixie, was saved by the judges both times she landed in the bottom two. But their votes couldn't save her in week 8 when she was sent home automatically for having the lowest score and audience vote of the night.

Vinny Guadagnino and Koko Iwasaki

Jersey Shore star Vinny Guadagnino fist-pumped his way into America's hearts. Despite getting the lowest scores on the leaderboard almost every week he made it to week 8, getting eliminated just one week shy of the semifinals.

Trevor Donovan and Emma Slater

90210 star Trevor Donovan came into the competition declaring he'd never really tried to dance before, but ended up hoofing his way to the semifinals with pro dance partner Emma Slater. Unfortunately, Slater's multi-season pattern of being eliminated after dancing a cha-cha continued as the pair earned the lowest scores of the night and were sent home without a shot at a save from the judges.

Daniel Durant and Britt Stewart

Coda star Daniel Durant had a stunning run on the show. The previous week, he took viewers' breath away doing a jazz routine in which the music cut out midway to model his experience as deaf performer. He and partner Britt Stewart gave their all in the semifinals, but when it came down to the judges' vote between Durant and charismatic drag queen Shangela, the actor fell just short of moving on to the final round.

Shangela and Gleb Savchenko

Drag queen superstar Shangela brought her signature pizzazz to every routine, earning her first perfect score in week 7. And halleloo, she made it to the finale and gave a showstopping freestyle complete with appearances from Laganja Estranja, Eureka, and Gleb Savchenko's drag persona Natasha. When it came time to announce the winners, Shangela placed fourth.

Wayne Brady and Witney Carson

Comedian and actor Wayne Brady brought his decades of entertainment chops to the ballroom and wowed the judges each week. He entered the competition as a tribute to his late grandmother who loved the show. Brady partner Witney Carson placed third on finale night.

Gabby Windey and Val Chmerkovskiy (runners-up)

Bachelorette star Gabby Windey came into the competition hesitant to perform, but she broke out of her shell as the weeks went on, getting high praise and scores from the judges. She made it to the finale with partner Val Chmerkovskiy and was named runner-up for the mirrorball trophy.

Charli D'Amelio and Mark Ballas (winners)

TikTok star Charli D'Amelio joined the cast alongside her mom Heidi as the first mother/daughter duo to compete on DWTS. Charli proved herself as a powerhouse of dance, earning six perfect scores throughout the season.

Dancing with the Stars 2021 professionals.

Permanent host of the program - Andrey Malakhov.

About the show

The premiere of the project, the Russian version of the British TV show Strictly Come Dancing , was first held in 2006. Having successfully existed for ten years, the show went on an indefinite break, and in 2020 it returned to the screens again.

As in previous seasons of the program, the couples competing for the top prize are a professional dancer and a celebrity. The dance duets are evaluated by the jury members, as well as by the viewers. Funds received during voting are transferred to charitable needs. A special expert is also involved in the assessment. For example, in the tenth season it was Philip Kirkorov.

Throughout the history of the show, such celebrities as Elena Yakovleva, Anna Kovalchuk, Natasha Koroleva, Yulia Menshova, Laysan Utyasheva, Ksenia Sobchak and others took part in the filming.

The jury, which will evaluate the performances of couples in the twelfth season, includes People's Artist of Russia, ex-soloist of the Bolshoi Theater Nikolai Tsiskaridze, TV presenter Daria Zlatopolskaya, choreographer Yegor Druzhinin and a new person, famous dancer and director Garik Rudnik. It was he who staged the choreographic program of Eurovision 2009 in Moscow, the closing ceremony of the Vancouver Olympics in 2010, as well as numbers for Philip Kirkorov, Laima Vaikule, Dima Bilan, Emin Agalarov and other stars.

The main choreographer of the show is the charismatic, bright and talented founder of the KozarDance Theatre, Vasily Kozar, known for his extravagance. Vasily has worked on the creation of multimedia performances for world famous brands, collaborated with many celebrities, and was also a choreographer on the Dancing on TNT project. So in the twelfth season, the artists will have to master not only classical styles, but also new and unexpected directions.

On the eve of the premiere of the 12th season of "Dancing with the Stars", the creators of the project and the TV channel "Russia 1" announced the start of the all-Russian flash mob #RussiaDancingAtHome. All fans of the unique dance show were invited to carefully watch all episodes, memorize the movements of the dancers and try to repeat them. It was proposed to record the dances on video, posting it on social networks with the hashtag #Russiadancing at home. The best videos will be selected for broadcast.

Participants of the project

In the next season, the audience is waiting for the reincarnation of artists in new images and amazing dance numbers. Eleven couples became participants in the 12th season of the project.

Among the stellar non-professionals : actors Ekaterina Guseva, Dmitry Lysenkov, Igor Mirkurbanov, Dmitry Dyuzhev, Katerina Shpitsa, Anton Shagin, Evgeny Morozov and Yanina Studilina, as well as singer Sergey Lazarev, blogger and alleged fiancé of Olga Buzova DAVA (David Manukyan ) and rapper Alexander ST Stepanov.

professional dancers will pair with movie, blogosphere and pop stars : Evgeny Papunaishvili, Inna Svechnikova, Maria Smolnikova, Daria Shelyganova, Denis Tagintsev, Ekaterina Osipova, Olga Nikolaeva, Evgenia Tolstaya, Ulyana Maksimkina , Daria Paley, Mikhail Shchepkin.

The finale of the show

The viewers of the Russia-1 channel saw the final episode of the project on February 21, 2021. Five pairs participated in it: Katerina Spitz and Mikhail Shchepkin , Dava and Daria Palei , Anton Shagin and Ulyana Maximkin , Sergey Lazarev and Ekaterina Osipova , as well as Ekaterina Guseva and Evgeny Papunaishvili .

The organizers of the show divided the final into two stages, in each of which the contestants showed one number. In the second dance, each couple had to combine several styles.

According to the results of the first round, the pairs of Lazareva with Osipova and Dava with Paley scored the most points: 40 points each. At the same time, Daria Zlatopolskaya, a member of the jury, especially noted the ex-lover of Olga Buzova.

Daria Zlatopolskaya about Dava's dance: “You do very good movements. But the main thing that you convey is something that cannot be learned: it is either there or it is not. You convey the mood."

In third place were Guseva and Papunaishvili (39 points). On the fourth - Katerina Shpitsa and Mikhail Shchepkin: 38 points. And the last were Anton Shagin and Ulyana Maksimkina, who scored 37 points.

In the second round, the alignment of forces changed: Shagin and Maksimkina took the lead, to whom the judges gave 40 points. One point behind them were Guseva and Papunaishvili, Lazarev and Osipova, Spitz and Shchepkin. And Dava and Paley this time received only 37 points.

After the audience voting took place, the victory went to the singer Sergey Lazarev and his parquet partner Ekaterina Osipova. Second place was won by Dava and Paley, who lost one point to the leaders. Third place went to Guseva and Papunaishvili.

On the eve of the final, Dava's ex-girlfriend Olga Buzova asked her fans to vote for the rapper. And this, according to many, played a big role in the fact that he broke into second position.

About the show

In 2004, the show called Strictly Come Dancing premiered in the UK, in 2005 it was adapted by America (there it was called Dancing with the Stars ), and in 2006 the Russian version was released. Despite a four-year break, which the TV show went on in 2016 after ten seasons, she returned to television screens.

The peculiarity of the project is that couples take part in the competition, each of which consists of a professional dancer and a person who is not so good in this area. Well-known Russian singers, actors and TV presenters became partners of experts in dancing: Yulia Savicheva, Natalia Ionova, Boris Smolkin, Ksenia Borodina, Christina Asmus, Angelina Vovk, Alena Vodonaeva and others. Competitors are evaluated by jury members and viewers.

The jury members in the show "Dancing with the Stars" in 2022 were People's Artist of the Russian Federation Nikolai Tsiskaridze, TV presenter Daria Zlatopolskaya, choreographers Vladimir Varnava and Yegor Druzhinin.

As in the previous season, Andrey Malakhov acted as the host of the popular dance project.

Participants

The names of ten star participants of the next season were announced by the project organizers at the end of 2021.

Together with professional partners, the star of “Midshipmen, go ahead!” Dmitry Kharatyan, actresses Maria Mironova, Alexandra Rebenok, Marina Zudina, Olga Medynich and Alexandra Revenko, actors Valery Nikolaev and Anatoly Bely, singer and blogger Vanya Dmitrienko and stand-up comedian Vladimir Markoni.

Mikhail Schepkin will dance with Alexandra Child. Previously, he performed in a project with Ekaterina Volkova (in 2015), Alisa Grebenshchikova (in 2016) and Katerina Spitz (in 2021). Alexandra Revenko's partner in the show was Denis Tagintsev, who had previously been a participant in the project twice: in 2015 he fought for victory with Ksenia Alferova, and in 2016 with Alexandra Ursulyak.

Anatoly Bely's partner is Inna Svechnikova, who a year ago danced with the star of "Londongrad" and "Optimists" Yevgeny Morozov.
