The Secret Life of the Ballroom follows ten passionate amateurs as they take up competitive ballroom dancing for the very first time. With just three months to master six classic routines, each episode sees the five couples compete against each other at various local dance competitions, sharpening their skills and polishing their performances along the way. From the retired mom looking for a new hobby, to the sporty couple eager for a challenge, the dancers’ motivations may differ but their goal is the same – to smash the samba, conquer the cha cha and win the waltz!
