Isdans


In the spring of 2007, TV 2 aired a programme called Isdans (en: Figure Skating), in which six celebrities have been paired with professional skaters. The show is similar to Dancing with the Stars, with the difference being that figure skating rather than ballroom dancing is performed. The participants were:
Dorthe Skappel, TV show hostess, partnered by Janusz Komendera
Sandra Lyng Haugen, Artist, partnered by Aleksander Sunde Iversen
Per Christian Ellefsen, Actor, partnered by Marianne Fjørtoft
Pål Anders Ullevålseter, Rally motor cyclist, partnered by Anna Pouchkov
Anette Bøe, Retired cross-country skier, partnered by Aleksandr Smokvin
Jim Marthinsen, Retired ice hockey player, partnered by Kaja Hanevold
During one of her rehearsals, Dorthe Skappel fell and smashed her face into the ice. Because of this incident, TV 2 did not produce more seasons.




Skal vi danse

Skal vi danse is the Norwegian edition of the British television series, Strictly Come Dancing, and the American television series, Dancing with the Stars.
