Let's Dance is a Swedish dance competition featuring Swedish celebrities. It is the Swedish version of the British reality TV competition Strictly Come Dancing and is part of the Dancing with the Stars franchise.

On 30 August 2023, TV4 announced that the show will be paused during 2024, the first pause in the show's history. [2]
