“Let’s Dance” star Malika Dzumaev: This is how she feels her two months after the operation

Malika Dzumaev (34) gives a new child two months after her intervertebral disc surgery. The dancer wrote that she “learns to get back to life slowly” – both physically and mentally. It was a “challenging and intensive time”, but she learned a lot about herself and her environment.

She believes that “everything is passing for one reason”. She has not yet found this reason this time, “but maybe it will be shown at some point,” said the “Let’s Dance” professional dancer. Dzumaev shared a selfie on which an elongated cut can be seen on her neck. Her surgical scar is her “small tattoo forever from now on,” she said.

In June, Dzumaev had to be operated on the cervical spine for a herniated disc. Afterwards she kept her followers up to date on Instagram. “Bit by bit it goes back to normal everyday life! Sometimes slowly, sometimes faster”, in a contribution. The dancer said that she was “proud of every single step” of her healing process.

“I got through a lot, shed countless tears, often no longer continued” in another post. “The pain was a constant companion.” To this end, the “Let’s Dance” professional dancer shared a compilation of recordings, which she showed in the hospital exhausted. “But I didn’t give up. I fought,” emphasized Dzumaev. Under her articles, she keeps giving “Let’s Dance” colleagues like Motsi Mabuse (44) and Ekaterina Leonova (38).

Malika Dzumaev has been dancing on “Let’s Dance” since 2021. In 2024 she won her first victory with Gabriel Kelly (24). Before that, she had won the Christmas special and 2023 the professional challenge in 2022. In this year’s season she competed with the musician Ben Zucker (42). However, the dance couple had to leave the show early on. Dzumaev could not take part in the professional challenge because of the intervention.
