Tonight at 21:00 CET, the second edition of the Eurovision Dance Contest will take place in Glasgow. 14 couples, each consisting of a professional dancer and a national celebrity, will try to convince the jury and the televoters to bring home the trophy.

The show

Graham Norton and Claudia Winkleman will again present the show. Each couple will perform for two minutes before the professional jury will give its verdict. After all performances, the jury's top 10 countries will be given 48, 40, 32, 28, 24, 20, 16, 12, 8 and 4 points before the televoting starts. The countries will vote in typical Eurovision style giving 12, 10 and 8-1 points, which means that the jury has the weight of four countries voting.

Where to watch?

Apart from the participating countries, the contest will also be broadcast in the following countries: Albania, Armenia, Belarus, Cyprus, FYR Macedonia and Iceland. Of course, there will also be a webcast on eurovisiondance.tv here.
