Season one of the 2012 edition of El Gran Show premiered on August 25, 2011.
From this season, celebrities would no longer dance with dreamers, but with professional dancers who at the same time would be their choreographers with whom they would compete to help a charity.
On November 17, 2012, actress & model Jhoany Vegas and Pedro Ibáñez were declared the winners, actress & singer Denisse Dibós and Eduardo Pastrana finished second, while tennis player Macs Cayo and Diana Follegati were third.
Cast Couples On August 22, the 14 celebrities that would participate in the season were announced, even though there were a total of 13 couples because Bettina Oneto and her daughter formed a trio during the competition along with the professional dancer José Morello, although later Bettina would leave the competition for personal issues.
After the retirement of Bettina Oneto, the bullfighter Alfonso de Lima also left the competition in week 7, being replaced by the actor Nikko Ponce.
