The show featured 14 new celebrities, who had been paired with 14 professional dancers. In a change to the previous format, the results show was on Sunday, rather than later on Saturday.

Famous quotes containing the words strictly and/or dancing:
“The nobility of a human being is strictly independent of that of his convictions.”
—Jean Rostand (18941977)
“We have dancing ... from soon after sundown until a few minutes after nine oclock.... Occasionally the boys who play the female partners in the dances exercise their ingenuity in dressing to look as girlish as possible. In the absence of lady duds they use leaves, and the leaf-clad beauties often look very pretty and always odd enough.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (18221893)
