Season eight of Dancing with the Stars premiered on Monday March 9 2009 as part of ABC’s spring line-up. The show generally followed the format of previous seasons with 13 couples although there were some changes including two new dances (Argentine Tango and Lindy Hop) and an occasional dance-off between the bottom two couples in order to determine who will be eliminated. The show was again hosted by Tom Bergeron and Samantha Harris.
