"Dancing with the Stars" performers Brooke Burke and Maksim Chmerkovskiy play Just Dance 3 at the Propel Zero Just Dance Off.

“Dancing With the Stars” performer Maksim Chmerkovskiy on Sunday hosted the Propel Zero Just Dance Off, a live tournament using the Ubisoft game Just Dance 3.

More than 400 people attended the event, held at the El Capitan Theater in Los Angeles. Three finalists with the top Just Dance 3 game scores entered the ultimate showdown – dancing off against Maksim. All three took home prizes and a year’s supply of Propel Zero.

“I love seeing people come together through dance,” said Maksim. “I’ve been a huge fan of Propel Zero for a long time and am thrilled to partner with the brand to bring such an exciting event to life for families to enjoy.”

Also in attendance was the winner of the Propel Zero Facebook photo contest, Kristy Mauro from Myrtle Beach, S.C. Kristy won an all-expenses-paid trip for four to attend the Propel Zero Just Dance Off for sharing her photo of her best dance moves and receiving the most votes on Facebook. In total, more than 13,000 votes were cast within the two-day voting period.

Catch highlights of the event on Monday night’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” at midnight ET on ABC affiliates.
