Not every dancer is a ballroom dancer; plenty are students of break dancing, jazz, contemporary dance etc. Once the field has been diminished to the remaining 20 (10 male, 10 female) the dancers are then paired up and the real competition starts. Weekly each pair is assigned the dance they are to perform the next week. This can be among the ballroom dances or they could draw one of the different dance styles, jazz, contemporary etc. They have 7 days to practice with the choreographer and practice their dance. The TV audience vote on their favorites and every week the judges choose who amongst the three lowest vote achieving couples will depart the show.
