''The Masked Dancer'' is an American reality dancing competition TalentShow that began airing on Creator/{{Fox}} in December 2020 which is a spinoff of ''Series/TheMaskedSinger''. It is hosted by Creator/CraigRobinson.

Similar to its sister show, the premise involves a total of 10 competitors going head to head with each other in each episode, only this time dancing a number, with a panel of judges which includes Creator/AshleyTisdale, Creator/BrianAustinGreen (who was also a contestant on Season 4 of ''The Masked Singer'' as Giraffe), Music/PaulaAbdul, Creator/KenJeong (who is also a judge on ''The Masked Singer''), and an occasional rotating guest panelist and the studio audience voting on which ones are best. The losers of each match-up then get together at the end of each episode, with the contestant with the lowest votes being selected for [[TheReveal unmasking]] -- and elimination.

* SpinOff: It is not only a spin-off of ''The Masked Singer'', but of ''The Creator/EllenDeGeneres Show'' -- which originally did ''The Masked Dancer'' as a recurring segment spoofing ''The Masked Singer''. Ellen always joked that Fox hadn't sued her over it yet: instead, they asked her to executive produce it for real.

** To a lesser extent, Ashley Tisdale is also this due to her overly big and off-key guesses.

The losers of each match-up then get together at the end of each episode, with the contestant with the lowest votes being selected for [[TheReveal unmasking]] -- and elimination.

The twist here comes from the contestants all being known celebrities dancing anonymously, wearing fancy costumes and only being referred to as their character: the identity of the contestant is only revealed after they are eliminated. Their voices are also synthesized to further confuse the judges. Viewers and the judges are given clues (primarily in the form of a short video introducing the contestant and alluding to their personal life, as well as physical clues brought on stage), and the judges are encouraged to share their speculation on who each contestant might be.
