Show six brought a big change for the celebrities on “Let’s Dance”. Although nobody had to worry about their place in the dance show that evening, it remained exciting.
Anna Ermakova earned the bonus point with her samba on “Let’s Dance”. For show six of season 16, all dance couples were separated and remixed for the first time. Nobody left the RTL dance show on Friday evening.
The daughter of tennis legend Boris Becker, who danced in the evening with professional dancer Christian Polanc instead of her previous dance partner Valentin Lusin, was once again able to inspire the jury.
“I thought I was in Rio,” enthused judge Jorge González after Ermakova’s samba. You can tell that Ermakova enjoys the dance, González said. “You do everything with a naturalness.” The 23-year-old received 29 points for her, according to juror Joachim Llambi, “very difficult dance”.

“Let’s Dance” juror Mabuse: “That touched my heart”
She was one point behind actress Sharon Battiste, 31, who scored full points with a soulful danced rumba – this evening alongside Valentin Lusin instead of her usual partner Christian Polanc. “That really touched my heart,” said judge Motsi Mabuse.
“More is simply not possible,” said Llambi. After the calls from viewers, the bonus point went to Ermakova anyway. The extra point will then be added to your score by the jury in the next show.
Twitch star Jens “Knossi” Knossalla had to give up training with his previous partner Isabel Edvardsson this week and instead practice his contemporary with the professional dancer Mariia Maksina, who was newly assigned to him. He didn’t want it to look funny on him, said the 36-year-old before his performance, during which he was supposed to slide barefoot across the floor.
Instead, however, he made the jury go into raptures with his very emotional interlude. “You have so much heart,” praised Mabuse. “That was the Knossi dance”. “If you hadn’t done a little vintage or mashed potatoes in the contemporary now and then, it would have been even more delicate,” remarked Llambi. But he also acknowledged that the entertainer had “left his heart on this surface”.
That awaits the candidates in show seven
Knossalla received 24 points from the jury, sharing fourth place with actress Julia Beautx, 23, and mentalist Timon Krause, 28. Ex-professional gymnast Philipp Boy, 35, scored 25 points with Christina Luft. Star chef Ali Güngörmüş came last. According to the jury, the 46-year-old had improved, but with 19 points he was at the bottom.
In show seven after the Easter break, all celebrities should dance with their original partners again. And then two couples will even have to say goodbye to the show, as the moderators announced.
