Skal vi danse?
Norwegian television program
Skal vi danse (lit. 'Shall we dance?') is a Norwegian television series which has been broadcast on TV 2 and produced by Monster Entertainment since 2006. The series sees celebrities partner with professional dancers to compete in mainly ballroom and Latin dance. The pairs each week compete by performing one or more choreographed routines that usually revolve around a prearranged theme for that particular week. Each pair is then scored by a panel of judges and the viewers. The viewers are given a short time to place votes for their favourite pairs, usually online. Once all the votes have been added up, the pair with the lowest combined score is eliminated. This process continues until there are only two pairs left, who will compete against each other in a final before one is crowned the winner. It is based on the British reality TV competition Strictly Come Dancing and is part of the Dancing with the Stars franchise.
Skal vi danse is currently presented by Helene Olafsen and Anders Hoff. It is broadcast on Saturday evenings.

Why this record matters
“Skal vi danse?” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Skal, danse and Norwegian provides the most credible route into that argument.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7533810. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2006.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
