Anna Ermakova wins and breaks the great “Let’s Dance” record.
The grand finale on “Let’s Dance” (on RTL and RTL +) was on Friday evening. Anna Ermakova (23), Julia Beautx (24) and Philipp Boy (35) gave everything again to become the new “Dancing Star”. Barbie and Ken were brought to life, the dance floor almost turned into a theater stage and Anna Ermakova managed something that had never been done before on “Let’s Dance”.
Except for a few small flaws, Julia Beautx and Zsolt Sándor Cseke’s (35) Rumba got a lot of praise. The dance earned the YouTuber the first 27 points. With her favorite dance, the tango, she then “went on the attack”, as Motsi Mabuse (42) enthusiastically stated. “You left me speechless. That was full on the 12”, Joachim Llambi (58) joined with words of praise. This secured the next 30 points. For her final freestyle, she went into the world of “Frozen”. In the end, “the ice queen” Julia fought back tears when she got the full number of points again.
Barbie and Ken come to life
After Philipp Boy had a blackout last week and had to worry about progressing, everything was supposed to be different this time. The former gymnast and Patricija Ionel (28) were trained by Joachim Llambi for their Viennese waltz. During the live show, the 35-year-old seemed to have found his lightness again. The juror was satisfied with the performance, for which there were 27 points. It was clear to see that the jive is Philipp Boy’s favorite dance. “I think that was your best dance in the season,” explained Joachim Llambi, who also praised the new looseness in the ex-gymnast’s second dance. 30 points came to his account. For their freestyle, the dancing couple slipped into the roles of Barbie and Ken. Despite a little wobble in the very last step, Philip Boy delivered an outstanding performance, as the jury trio agreed and jumped another 30 points.
Anna Ermakova breaks the “Let’s Dance” record
Anna Ermakova and Valentin Lusin (36) opened the final with a tango. There was support in training for this dance from Jorge González (55). “More intimacy, more closeness,” the juror tried to tease out the emotions. The result in the live show: complete enthusiasm – and of course a full score. The fact that the 23-year-old is a fan of quieter dances was already revealed during “Let’s Dance”, so she presented a slow waltz as her favorite dance. The model almost floated over the dance floor, so that Joachim Llambi was “a pleasure to watch”. “You’re ‘One in a Million’ for me,” the rave continued, before Anna Ermakova got the next 30 points.
In freestyle, the 23-year-old almost turned the dance floor into a theater stage, on which she danced the story of “Alice in Wonderland”. “I can read your feelings, in every step you take,” Jorge González was enchanted by the fairytale performance.
The jury awarded the full number of points again and made Anna Ermakova the “Queen of Let’s Dance”, because there has never been such a high total number of points on the show. The spectators, who chose the 23-year-old “Dancing Star” 2023, saw it that way too. Overjoyed, the model accepted the trophy and fell to the ground with joy. Julia Beautx finished second and Philipp Boy third.
