Painful incident: Gabriel Kelly pulls out hair of dance partner during training

Participation in “Let’s Dance” is certainly not without its consequences. In addition to the weekly live show, where the couples are under a lot of pressure, it is above all the lengthy, hard training sessions. One could assume that it is primarily the celebrities who suffer from this – after all, they are the ones who, unlike the professionals, are not used to the tough dance training. However, in the case of Gabriel Kelly, 22, and his dance partner Malika Dzumaev, 33, things are different. The two can be seen training in an Instagram story from the official “Let’s Dance” account. During a break, the professional dancers have to realize: “Dear Gabriel simply tore my hair out.” He promptly apologizes to his partner and complains about his mishap. He probably accelerated a little too much. “Before that I didn’t dare and now I dared and ripped off her beautiful hair,” says the 22-year-old, a little crestfallen.

Luckily for Kelly, Mailka Dzumaev doesn’t hold a grudge and is already familiar with such incidents. The training could therefore continue without any problems. Viewers will see whether the hard work and pain is worth it in the end on Friday, March 8, 2024 from 8:15 p.m. on RTL or RTL+.

From Take That to Cher – “Let’s Dance” travels back in time to the 90s

The second “Let’s Dance” show is in the starting blocks on Friday, March 8, 2024 and is preparing to become the first highlight of the current season. Together with their audience and the jury, the 13 couples go on a wild journey back in time to the 90s. This brings back memories – and will certainly involve singing along loudly for the first time. When La Bouche asks “Be my lover”, Tom Jones, 83, and Mousse T., 57, invoke their “sex bomb” and Cher, 77, assures that she is “strong enough”, the mood will certainly be excellent and the celebrities how professionals encourage top performance. We have clearly summarized for you which dance couple is performing which dance. Small spoiler: The first contemporarys are also danced.

The song selection not only makes the hearts of 90s kids beat faster. The dancing couples are already sharing their excitement on Instagram, which is not neglected alongside the hard training.

“Illness completely freaked out”: The stress is getting under Stefano Zarrella’s skin

Participating in “Let’s Dance” means increased stress for many celebrities. The strenuous training, which often lasts for many hours, the pressure that is placed on them every week at the live shows – the stress level quickly rises. Not a good prerequisite for Stefano Zarrella, 33, who wants to conquer the dance floor this year. As he reports on Instagram and also to “Bild”, he suffers from neurodermatitis and psoriasis. Both skin diseases are caused by stress and can break out in episodes. Unfortunately, this happened right before the start of the current “Let’s Dance” season. “Shortly before ‘Let’s Dance’ the illness completely freaked out, I took cortisone cream to calm it down,” explains the 33-year-old in an interview.

Stefano Zarrella has been plagued by red spots and itchy spots since he was a child – something that really unsettled him in his youth. Today he is confident about his illness and would even be willing to perform topless on “Let’s Dance”. After the last show, one can safely assume that he should still have plenty of opportunity to do this. With 18 points from the jury, he and his dance partner Mariia Maksina, 27, got off to a very good start and are already among the early favorites.

Step backwards for Eva Padberg? She has to pull the emergency brake

The first regular broadcast of “Let’s Dance” after the introductory show went according to plan for Eva Padberg, 44, and her dance partner Paul Lorenz, 37. With their slow waltz they were at least able to convince enough to move on one round at the end. Actually the moment when the hard training starts again and, above all, the model has to push herself to her limits. But unfortunately the math doesn’t work out this week. As Eva Padberg reported in her Instagram story on Sunday, she has to slow down in training. She writes: “Unfortunately it got to me a bit, so we’re taking a lot of breaks today and taking it easy at first. Learning the steps and some technique, but everything on the gentle cycle.”

And in her story on Monday, the mood doesn’t seem to be much better. She would be “really keen” – the irony of this statement literally jumps out at you. But at the end of the day, Paul Lorenz is optimistic in his Instagram story. “We had a good training session. Eva is trying very hard. We were able to push a little harder today than yesterday. So (I’m) confident for tomorrow.” There are still two days of training left for the Blue Eyes team – they are sure to make the most of it.

“Afraid of you”: Lulu Lewe was afraid of professional dancer Massimo Sinató

There was no great joy on both sides when it was decided that Lulu Lewe, 32, and Massimo Sinató, 43, would dance together on “Let’s Dance”. Now they have spoken openly to RTL about their initial reluctance. Both sides had difficult first impressions of each other.

“I have to admit, I was a little afraid of you at the beginning,” says singer Sarah Connor’s little sister, 43, about her experienced dance partner in a TV interview. Immediately after the announcement, she is said to have whispered this sentence in his ear. A sentence that Rebecca Mir’s husband, 32, didn’t understand – and frustrated him. They couldn’t hide their emotions from the TV audience. “Lulu just wasn’t happy at all” or “What was wrong with Massimo?” wrote fans on the Instagram account of the popular RTL dance show. For Lulu, the decision to dance with Massimo was simply very surprising. “This is the first partner who is afraid of me, I thought,” Massimo explained his not-so-happy facial expression on the show.

A bumpy start. But Massimo Sinató also had concerns – and prejudices – about Lulu Lewe: “I thought it was such a lazy sock!” Not at all! Both parties were able to address any concerns. “Then we sat down again and then everything worked,” said the singer about working with her dance partner. And the old “Let’s Dance” fan, who is taking part for the 14th time, also knows the game. “You always have to sniff yourself out first.”

Massimo Sinató and Lulu Lewe have already proven in the first regular show that they harmonize perfectly with each other on the dance floor and were rewarded by the jury with 19 points for their fiery tango.

Maria Clara Groppler is annoyed by players

It was already over for Maria Clara Groppler, 24, in the first regular “Let’s Dance” show last Friday, March 1, 2024. She and her dance partner Mikael Tatarkin, 27, were the first couple to leave the show. This not only triggers mixed feelings among those watching. The disappointment of being thrown out is mixed with a bit of frustration for the 24-year-old. In her Instagram story after the show, she wrote about an unfair cut by the production. The clip only showed scenes in which it seemed as if she wasn’t taking the matter seriously. This influenced the opinions of those watching, who now judged her negatively. “I’ve been preparing for this for weeks. It’s a shame that it was portrayed like that,” she notes.

Similar comments from followers can be read under one of her Instagram posts. One person writes: “All the other candidates are made to laugh at the MAZ (fate, bullying, injuries, failure), only with Maria everything was ridiculed. You get the feeling as if the production is becoming conscious here Want to control the voting behavior of viewers. Annoys me!” Many other comments are along the same lines.

The comedian and her dance partner had previously danced a cha-cha-cha and emphasized on Instagram in advance that they were “both really keen and hopefully want to delight you with our sexy moves for a long time.” The official “Let’s Dance” stage will no longer be available to them. But they have already announced that they still want to rehearse a little choreography every week and simply bring it to people via social media. This announcement is not only met with enthusiasm by Groppler’s Instagram fans. Her previous colleagues Alexandru Ionel, 29, and Valentin Lusin, 37, also show their support. Lusin writes: “What a great idea, absolutely. I’m looking forward to your dances.” So the show goes on.
