For those who tuned in to watch ice dancing during the Winter Olympics and found themselves intrigued and fascinated, there is good news: ABC is planning to launch an ice dancing reality competition series later this year, confirmed EW.com.

If this sounds like ABC’s hit show, “Dancing With the Stars,” it’s because it is indeed similar in concept. More specifically, the show will be following the pattern of a similar show on BBC called “Strictly Ice Dancing.” Six celebrities will be paired with six professional ice skaters, and each pair will compete against the others. The main difference, of course, is the addition of ice skates.

Confirmation for the show comes at a time when audiences are still on post-Olympics cloud nines. The show, however, will not debut until later in the year.  Already the Twitterverse seems full of many skeptics of the new show, but there were also a few hopefuls:
