Dance and perform against competition to claim the coveted title as America's favorite celebrity dancer in Dancing with the Stars. You'll dance to hit songs and compete in dances from the Cha-Cha to the Waltz. Play as one of nine celebrities such as Emmit Smith, Mario Lopez, or Stacie Keibler. Pair with one of the show's professional dancers and show the judges you've got the star power.

Problems

VP6 Videos

Dancing with the Stars uses the VP6 video codec, common in Electronic Arts' titles, causing its videos to have vertical line artifacts and other glitches on many graphics cards. The Software Render will display VP6 video correctly, but is typically too slow. VP6 rendering also reacts poorly to the Force Texture Filtering enhancements (and Anisotropic Filtering on NVIDIA), causing further scrambling. See issue 7193. In 5.0-15515 or newer, this can be fixed with "Manual Texture Sampling" in the Graphics Settings -> Advanced menu.
