The Story Behind the Glow

For more than a decade, South Seas® founder Julie Nostrand has helped create the camera-ready glow seen on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars™.

As the show’s tanning partner, South Seas works behind the scenes to give performers polished, natural-looking color suited to studio lights, HD cameras, and live television. Julie’s commitment to beautiful, dependable results continues to shape every South Seas formula.

The Island Glow Body Bronzer was developed specifically for the show and has become a signature part of the DWTS glow. It gives dancers flawless-looking skin and a luminous bronze sheen—with a transfer-resistant finish designed to resist transfer onto costumes.
