Dance star MC Livinho is dropped from the upcoming production of Famous Dance just a few days before the grand event
MC Livinho, a popular figure on Brazil's Dance of the Famous, has been advised to avoid impact activities following a serious motorcycle accident at the end of July 2025 [1]. As a result, he will not be participating in the new season of the show, which premieres this Sunday (10).
The production team at Domingão com Huck, where Dance of the Famous is broadcast, is working diligently to find a suitable substitute for Livinho. The general director of the show, Clarissa Lopes, along with producers Barbara Maia, Matheus Pereira, and Hélio Vargas (artistic director), are all involved in the search.
Monica Almeida, the genre director for Domingão com Huck, and Luciano Huck, the presenter of the show, are also part of the effort to find a replacement. The team is racing against time to ensure a smooth transition for the new season.
However, the identity of the substitute for MC Livinho has not been publicly disclosed or reported in these sources. It is unclear if the substitute's name will be announced this Sunday or in the following days.
Despite Livinho's absence, Dance of the Famous will continue to be aired on Globo, its usual network. The show has been a popular attraction for viewers, with Livinho's energetic hosting style and the competitive dance performances.
While the search for a substitute is ongoing, the direction of Domingão expects to invite Livinho to participate in other attractions once he's fully recovered. The audience looks forward to Livinho's return and the exciting new season of Dance of the Famous.
