Massimo Sinató + Amira Pocher: Backstage photo captures the “real” moment
Amira Pocher, 29, and Massimo Sinató, 41, had reason to celebrate in the second “Let’s Dance” show. They scored 17 points with their Slowfox. A significant improvement on the week before, when the jury harshly criticized Oliver Pocher’s wife, 44. Their joy at being one lap further was clear to see at the end of the show. Now the professional dancer posts a picture of himself and Amira that was taken shortly before her performance.
The snapshot shows the dancing couple behind the scenes. Massimo’s hands rest on Amira’s shoulders as he motivates her with words of encouragement. “Behind the scenes. Thanks to Ralph for capturing this real moment just before the performance. The final advice before the performance… going through the dance again and having the courage to speak… @amirapocher did a great job [sic]”Writes Rebecca Mir’s husband, 30. This moment seems to have been helpful for Amira, because she comments on the post with the words “Best coach !!” – in capital letters.

Evgeny Vinokurov receives a visit from his family
Although Cheyenne Ochsenknecht had to take a lot of criticism in the “Let’s Dance” introductory show, she convinced the jury in the second show and received the second best rating. Dance partner Evgeny Vinokurov, 31, seems to harmonize well with the 21-year-old. After their 20-point rating last week, the dancing couple will also give their all with their rumba. Evgeny should have a special incentive: his wife and son are finally with him.
The dancer shares a sweet shot of his little family on Instagram. “My treasures arrived yesterday. Overjoyed [sic]”Wrote the new father in his Instagram story and tagged his wife Nina. With this support, nothing can go wrong tonight (March 4, 2022).

Amira Pocher is nervous before the next show
There is enormous pressure on Amira Pocher. The presenter was accused in the first competition show of “Let’s Dance” that she was “lazy” and rested on her wildcard. The jury rated the performance of the 29-year-old and her dance partner Massimo Sinató, 41, with 14 points. In the upcoming show on Friday (March 4, 2022), the mother of two children wants to give everything for it. On Instagram, she lets her fans share her emotions and makes it clear that she’s pretty nervous.
“We dance a standard dance that has it all,” revealed Amira to her community. Oliver Pocher’s wife, 43, seems to have a lot of respect for the upcoming performance, because she would have noticed that the dance was “one of the most difficult standard dances”. “So I’m happy when there’s a catch […] and I can survive this dance,” she revealed to her followers. The podcaster assures her fans that she has “trained hard” and of course “will go full throttle”.

Ekaterina Leonova denies love rumors
In 2017, Ekaterina Leonova, 34, and Gil Ofarim, 39, won the “Let’s Dance” trophy. The dancer and the musician were a strong team, seemed well-rehearsed and harmonious. Rumors of love persisted. Now the professional dancer, who is back on the dance floor for “Let’s Dance” after a break, is clearing up the speculation once and for all.
“There have always been and always will be rumors about ‘Let’s Dance’ dancing couples. I can say that we were a dancing couple and we were able to win the trophy. Of course that’s my goal this year with Basti Bielendorfer,” says “Ekat ” versus “image”. She has no contact with Gil Ofarim. The 34-year-old is officially single.

Christina Luft screams – Mike Singer is exhausted
Mike Singer, 22, and Christina Luft, 32, only got ten points with their salsa in the first “Let’s Dance” competition show. This is clearly not enough for the ambitious professional dancer. Now Luca Hänni’s girlfriend, 27, is pulling the reins. During rehearsals, she really makes Mike Singer sweat.
On the official “Let’s Dance” Instagram account, Christina Luft already announced: “We’re going full throttle. He’s being taken hard. The whip is there and we’re doing everything we can to ensure that doesn’t happen again.” Singer Mike also lets his fans take part in the dance rehearsals. “Are we making progress?” He wants to know from the professional dancer during the preparations. With a wry smile, the 32-year-old gave a thumbs-up before adding, “I’ve lost my voice from screaming!” Meanwhile, Mike struggles with Christina’s harsh manners. “She yells at me all day,” he lets his followers know. The two trained for eight hours straight, as Christina Luft explains on Instagram. Mike Singer “can’t take it anymore, it was just exhausting” is how he sums up the tight program. “You took me apart,” sums up the musician. The next issue of “Let’s Dance” on March 4, 2022 will show whether the hard training has an effect.

Amira Pocher: Jury criticism bothers her
Amira Pocher, 29, put a fiery salsa on the floor with Massimo Sinató, 41, in the first “Let’s Dance” show on February 25, 2022. However, she was not as convincing with her performance as in the introductory show. This time, the jury awarded her performance only 14 points. However, she didn’t have to tremble because she got the wild card the week before and thus secured herself from being thrown out. Jorge Gonzáles, 54, saw this dance joker as a reason for Amira Pocher’s weaker performance. “You have to work more. Don’t be lazy just because you’ve had this card. You really have to train.” Oliver Pocher’s wife, 44, then defended herself against this accusation on Instagram.
“I have to say, right from the start, when I was always asked, ‘Are you afraid of criticism?’ etc., I thought to myself: ‘No, that’s always justified and you have to accept that.’ But it still hurts a bit,” she said. In the next sentence, the “Let’s Dance” candidate made it clear that she was struggling specifically with Jorge’s announcement: “Especially when you’re told I’m a lazy sock. I’m not.” Next Friday Amira can do everything better and find her way back to her old form. “I can build on that and will continue to do my best. I’m already looking forward to the next dance,” announced the mother of two children, highly motivated.
