For weeks, the professionals taught the celebrities salsa, rumba and waltzes. Now the focus is on the professional dancers themselves. And at the same time, a dancing couple surprises, which has never existed before in the “Professional Challenge”.

Viewers of the RTL show “Let’s Dance” will be presented with an innovation on Friday, May 27th, from 8:15 p.m. Two men have never danced together in the “Pro Challenge” – until now. The two professional dancers Massimo Sinató and Vadim Garbuzov will enter the dance floor together as a couple.

“Choreographically, it’s damn difficult,” said Massimo Sinató beforehand. The 41-year-old danced with Amira Pocher in the season of “Let’s Dance” that ended. The two are eliminated in the semifinals. For his new dance partner Vadim Garbuzov, the show was already over after the quarterfinals. Viewers chose the dancer with his dance partner, actress Sahra Mangione, from the dance show.

Now the two want to win the “Let’s Dance” professional challenge. For this they have chosen one of the most famous dances in the world: Swan Lake. “The difficult thing will be how do we present it in such a way that it looks really nice,” said Vadim Garbuzov. After all, the dance should not become a laughing matter.

The dance should by no means be a copy of the ballet piece. Rather, elements from ballet, contemporary, tango, paso doble and Viennese waltz should be processed in their performance.

Vadim Garbuzov can draw on his experience from past programs. The professional dancer has already danced with a man both on the Austrian branch of the show and on “Let’s Dance” in Germany. In 2021 he even reached the final together with ex-“Prince Charming” Nicolas Puschmann.
