This week, our Global Productions formats team welcomed representatives from across the global Dancing with the Stars family for our annual Creative Exchange.   Across its international network, Dancing with the Stars delivered more than 500 hours of content across 20 seasons this past year. Bringing together more than 70 attendees from 17 countries, the event united some of the creative minds behind one of the world's most successful entertainment formats.    Over two days, broadcasters, producers and format partners shared creative successes, audience engagement strategies and innovative ideas from across the Dancing with the Stars network, exploring everything from social media and fan growth to casting strategies and merchandising.   Highlights included…..Series roundups from every territory on air, creative inspiration from the UK team’s Costume Designer Vicky Gill, and an exclusive chat with former Germany & UK Pro dancer and current Ireland head judge - Oti Mabuse.   As Dancing with the Stars continues to captivate audiences around the world, the Creative Exchange provides a valuable opportunity for partners to learn from one another, exchange expertise and help shape the future of the format together.   A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed.   #DancingWithTheStars #BBCStudios #GlobalProductions #EntertainmentFormats #FormatDevelopment #ContentStrategy
