Dancing With the Stars waltzed up over last year’s spring debut leading ABC to a big nightly win. DWTS scored a 6.3/17 (rating/share) with adults 18-49 and 23.89 million total viewers in the overnights between 8p-10.

Last spring Dancing With the Stars premiered to a 5.9/15 (rating/share) with adults 18-49 and 22.497 million viewers in the preliminary overnight numbers for March 9, 2009. It rose to a 6.1 adults 18-49 rating in the finals (and it was the first Monday day of Daylight Saving Time). The March 17, 2008 premiere had a 5.6 rating with adults 18-49.

Last night was much improved compared to last fall’s DWTS premiere on September 21, 2009 when it averaged a 4.1 rating with adults 18-49 between 8p-10p.
