Dancing with the Stars is a dance competition show airing on ABC in the United States, and CTV/CTV Two in Canada. The show is the American version of the British television series Strictly Come Dancing. Tom Bergeron is the Emmy-winning host, with co-hosts Lisa Canning (season 1), Samantha Harris (seasons 2–9),[1] and Brooke Burke Charvet (season 10 onwards).[2]

The contestant pairs consist of a celebrity paired with a professional dancer. Past celebrity contestants include professional and Olympic athletes, supermodels, actors, singers, astronauts, and teen-heartthrobs. Each couple performs predetermined dances and competes against the others for judges' points and audience votes. The couple receiving the lowest combined total of judges' points and audience votes is eliminated each week until only the champion dance pair remains.

On season 16, Zendaya ended up being the Runner Up with her parter Valentin Chmerkovskiy.

Week 3 was prom night, and even though Zendaya's never been to prom, she put on quite a show. Dedicating the waltz to her grandmother on her mother's side, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, Zendaya wore a white gown and danced to "Que Sera", a song that played at Zendaya's grandmother's prom. In fact, the theme of Valdaya's performance was the same theme of Zendaya's grandmother's prom. Usually, Zendaya wows the judges, but they added a bit of criticism this time around.
