Worried about what you’ll do between the seasons of Dancing With The Stars season 5 and 6? Well worry no more because ABC has just announced that they’ll be bridging those few short months with a spin off from DWTS called Dance War. ABC wastes no time milking this one to its end, do they? The show doesn’t sound like such a bad idea though as it looks to bring two of the judges from DWTS from behind the judges’ table and make them put their money where their mouth is.

BuddyTV provided these details:

Dance War will premiere Monday, January 7 at 8pm, occupying the time slot currently held by Dancing with the Stars. After it’s final performance show on November 26, the network will fill the hour during December with various holiday specials.

Scheduled to run for six weeks (likely until the sixth season of Dancing with the Stars is ready to go), Dance War will pit judges Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba against each other as they lead dance teams into combat with one another. The show is hosted by Drew Lachey, who won the second season of Dancing with the Stars and, earlier this season, proved to be a fan favorite as a co-host.

So what do you think? Will you be tuning in to get your fill of Lachey now that his temp hosting gig is up? Was it the right choice to leave out Len Goodman over his counterparts? While Bruno may drive me nuts with his over the top commentary he should add plenty to this new show.
