Dancing With The Stars Fantasy League: Meet Fantasy Troupe
Welcome to Fantasy Troupe, a just-for-fun fantasy league created by Stitch and Snare, for fans of Dancing With the Stars! In this blog, we’ll tell you how we are playing our unofficial DWTS Fantasy League. Whether you’ve been watching since Season 1 or are just discovering the glitter and glam, Fantasy Troupe is here to make every cha-cha, paso doble, and rumba even more fun this season!
How Fantasy Troupe Works
Keep track of your team score and leaderboard standing on fantasytroupe.com. Each week, we’ll track celebrity–pro pairings and update your personalized dashboard. Don’t forget to submit your bonus scores before the episode airs for a chance to gain extra points and make sure you stay in the game by voting for your team!
Scoring is simple: if your star earns 20 points and your pro earns 15, your Fantasy Troupe earned a total of 35 for the week. If you miss a show or forget a bonus submission, don’t worry, there are weekly opportunities to double your score, plus extra points available during the Dancing with the Stars finale!
Which Troupe Will Win the Mini Mirrorball?
Meet your 2025 Fantasy Troupes! Since this was a last minute project and the new season premieres September 16, we randomly selected the final matchups. To keep things fair, no one can draft both members of the same duo. This way, every team has a chance to stay in the ballroom longer.
Next season, a proper “audition” will happen where you can personally select your dancers, we’ll make sure to plan this in advance next season!
