Season one of the 2012 edition of El Gran Show premiered on August 25, 2011.^[1][2][3]

From this season, celebrities would no longer dance with dreamers, but with professional dancers who at the same time would be their choreographers with whom they would compete to help a charity.^[4]

On November 17, 2012, actress & model Jhoany Vegas and Pedro Ibáñez were declared the winners, actress & singer Denisse Dibós and Eduardo Pastrana finished second, while tennis player Macs Cayo and Diana Follegati were third.^[5][6]

On August 22, the 14 celebrities that would participate in the season were announced, even though there were a total of 13 couples because Bettina Oneto and her daughter Shantall Young Oneto [es] formed a trio during the competition along with the professional dancer José Morello, although later Bettina would leave the competition for personal issues.^[4][7]

After the retirement of Bettina Oneto, the bullfighter Alfonso de Lima also left the competition in week 7, being replaced by the actor Nikko Ponce.^[8]

Gisela Valcárcel and Aldo Díaz returned as hosts, while Óscar López Arias replaced Christian Rivero as co-host.^[9] Morella Petrozzi, Pachi Valle Riestra and the VIP Jury returned as judges, while former MDO singer Alexis Grullón replaced Carlos Alcántara.^[10] On September 15, former judge Carlos Cacho joined the panel as a guest judge, replacing Grullón.^[11]
