the dances and the evaluation

The different dances that the couples present in this episode are tailored to the current musical trends. So the couple will perform the Jive to "Hey Ya", while Aaron Karl & Katya Mizera will dance a tango to "No Roots". An overview of the dances is as follows:

The jury, consisting of Maria Angelini-Santner, Baláz's Ekker and the recurring guest juror Mark Seibert, will evaluate the performances. Up to ten points can be awarded per Performance. These jury points flow into the overall ranking together with the points that the audience awards in voting.

The audience has the opportunity to coordinate their favorites, and here too there are up to ten points to get. The sum of jury and audience reviews decides which couple have to leave the show. This regulation ensures an exciting dynamic that shapes every program and binds the audience to it, as in other formats of entertainment, which promote a social comparison and emotional bonds, such as ARD Medien

The popular program "Dancing Stars" sets new standards and will again captivate the audience in front of the screen. In an increasingly digitized and fast -moving entertainment landscape, the show remains an indispensable source of entertainment and social exchange.
