¡Claro Que Baila! (Spanish for, Of course they can dance!) is a Puerto Rican competition television series that premiered on WAPA on May 21, 2025. The show is based on American competition Dancing with the Stars and British competition Strictly Come Dancing. The show pairs local Puerto Rican celebrities and influencers with professional dancers. Each couple competes against the others for judges' points.
