The Univision Network announced that rock star Alejandra Guzmán, irreverent TV host Horacio Villalobos and Broadway star Bianca Marroquín will make up the expert panel of judges on its upcoming star-studded reality competition, “¡Mira Quién Baila!” (Look Who’s Dancing!). In this show, though, the celebs don’t get pros as partners. They’ll have to hit the dance floor paired with amateurs.
Each of the ten celebrities and their amateur dance partners will have to work hard to impress the tough critics and be selected as the winning couple each week. The remaining celebrities will need to win viewer’s hearts and votes to remain in the competition. “¡Mira Quién Baila!” will air weekly on Sundays at 8:00 pm ET/PT on Univision, beginning on Sunday, September 12, 2010.
