You text your vote for Dancing with the Stars to the short code 21523 , but you must include the correct keyword (usually the celebrity’s first name) in the message body for it to count.

Quick Scoop

Here’s how it works in the most recent guides:

  1. During the live DWTS episode, each couple gets a specific text keyword, often the celebrity’s first name (for example, “ALICE” or “JORDAN”).
  1. Open your messaging app, start a new text, and in the “To” field enter 21523.
  1. In the message body, type only the correct keyword for your favorite celebrity/couple, then send it.
  1. You can usually send multiple texts (one vote per text) while the live voting window is open; once it closes, further texts won’t count.

Always double‑check both the keyword and the number on your TV screen, because DWTS can update rules or details from season to season.

So if you’re asking “what number do I text for Dancing with the Stars ,” the current standard voting number is 21523 , with the contestant’s keyword in the message. Always confirm on the live broadcast in case they change it for a future season.
