The 31-year-old told the emotional story of her struggle with hair loss while freestyle. In the end, she wasn’t able to convince.
Actress Sharon Battiste (“Köln 50667”) missed the quarterfinals in the RTL dance show “Let’s Dance”. The 31-year-old was unable to convince either the jury or the audience with her freestyle and was therefore eliminated.
The “Magic Moment” was about dancing a special moment in one’s own life story. Battiste, who lost her old curls due to patchy hair loss, chose how to deal with the disease as the theme of her dance. “I have to say that I’m proud of myself,” she said before her performance. However, the way there was “not the easiest”.
In the end, there were 24 points for the freestyle, in which Battiste and dance partner Christian Polanc (44) combined rumba, paso doble and jive – the lowest score of the first round. Battiste was able to get additional points in the second round, where she competed in a bachata duel against model Anna Ermakova (23). The competition ended in a draw at a high level: the jury awarded both the maximum score of 30 points. For Battiste, who was shown as “Bachelorette” on RTL in 2022, it wasn’t enough to get ahead in the end.
In the upcoming show, too, the remaining couples each have to present two dances. After performances by the participants to melodies from film and television, there are trio dances, as juror Joachim Llambi (58) announced. Each couple is supported by an additional professional. It is important to involve the third person in the dance as much as possible.
