The director first had to understand that in this case his professional partner is holding the reins, he has to trust her assessment.

There are 22 points for the performance – with just two points from Balász.

Otto Retzer and the storm clouds

Otto Retzer initially had his problems with Roswitha Wieland. The director first had to understand that in this case his professional partner holds the reins, he has to trust her assessment. The chemistry doesn’t seem to be right. In the first show, the couple danced a slow waltz to « Edelweiss » from the Hollywood shredded « The Sound of Music ».

Balász Ekker, referring to Otto Retzer’s saying in training, « The best of the bad is shit too », this could also have been his, but thought it was « okay » at the beginning. Nicole Hansen especially praises the dancer Rosi and advises Otto to trust his partner more and to see everything more positively. Dirk Heidemann likes Retzer, but he doesn’t really like his dance. « For me it was more of a pantomime than a dance, » says Karina Sarkissova. There are 12 points for the appearance. This time Balász is the most generous with four points. We remember: Norbert Schneider only got two from him earlier.

At Volker Piesczek, the crocodile snaps shut

« Notnagel » Volker Piesczek stepped in for the injured Martin Leutgeb and also took over his professional partner Alexandra Scheriau. What is noticeable during training: In contrast to the previous pair, the chemistry is right here. To the sounds of « September » the two perform a cha-cha-cha in the first show.

Nicole Hansen praises Volker’s « Body-Wave », but in general she found the Cha-Cha-Cha not natural enough. Dirk Heidemann felt a « positive energy », Karina Sarkissava found the performance « very spirited », but « absolutely hipless ». Balász Ekker is more than dissatisfied and ends with a rant: « If you have something, you can go home otherwise. » So it’s finally back, the « Dancing Stars » crocodile. There are a total of 19 points for Volker.

After the first show, none of the celebrity men had to leave the dance floor. Next week it will be the turn of the celebrity ladies, who this time showed a freestyle, in Show 3 it will be really serious for the first time, because then the couple that receives the fewest points or calls has to leave.

Eser Ari-Akbaba and her professional dance partner Danilo Campisi were the first couple to leave the field on Saturday evening at « Dancing Stars ». The ORF weather lady was visibly disappointed and had to let the result sink in first.

Due to Good Friday, the « Dancing Stars » danced this time on Saturday evening. After a two-week grace period, the first decision was made at the end of the show. Eser Ari-Akbaba and Danilo Campisi as well as Riem Higazi and Dimitar Stefanin had to tremble until the end. Finally, the ORF weather presenter had to leave.

« I’m sad, but I have to realize that first, » said Eser Ari-Akbaba after the end. And further: « It’s a show, you have to stand over it. »

After the jury evaluation (the two dances that the couples have performed so far were added together), Otto Retzer and Roswitha Wieland were in last place. However, the two got on thanks to calls from the audience. Niki Hosp and Walter Schachner, who were worse placed than Eser, were also able to overtake the ORF weather presenter.

© ORF / Hans Leitner This is how the jury voted

Otto Retzer could follow in the footsteps of Jazz Gitti, he was clearly the worst dancer, but he has the fans on his side. Not so the jury. While Balázs Ekker drew the A for the first time this season, Karina Sarkissova said: « It looks as if Rosie simply took you out of the audience » and compared his performance with a « dance in the sanatorium ».

New week, new dancers. After this

At the beginning, the celebrity men’s turn

were, this time the five women – musical star Ana Milva Gomes, cabaret artist Monica Weinzettl, FM4 presenter Riem Higazi, ORF weather lady Eser Ari-Akbaba and ex-skier Niki Hosp – were able to prove their skills on the smooth parquet.

After a freestyle group dance by the « Dancing Stars » men Martin Ferdiny, Volker Piesczek, Otto Retzer, Walter Schachner and Norbert Schneider, it is the turn of the women for the first time this week.

Tears from Ana Milva Gomez

As a musical performer, Ana Milva Gomes is no stranger to dancing. But how does she do in standard dances? « I had to learn everything all over again, » says Ana, who is not used to dancing with a partner. With the slow waltz to « Blue Velvet », however, she can immediately show how well the training has already paid off. After the dance, Ana Milva Gomes sheds tears of emotion, as her parents are in the audience. « Maybe I’ll get my days too, » says the musical actress.

And the jury? Does he feel like crying too? « That’s exactly what I’ve been waiting for. Great, fantastic » – Nicole Hansen is overwhelmed. « I am thrilled, that is grace, beauty, you are so beautiful, » says Dirk Heidemann. « I had to think for a moment: who is the professional here and who is the celebrity », the juror grants the greatest compliment that « Dancing Stars » can give. Karina Sarkissova also praises the « wonderful performance », she enjoyed the dance like a fairy tale. Balazs Ekker has a piece of advice: « You can dance, so just dance. » He hopes that Ana Milva Gomes can top her performance in the coming weeks. Ultimately, there are a great 30 points for the performance.

Monica Weinzettl, the « sex symbol of the country »

« Anyone who dances just has no money to drink » – that was Monica Weinzettl’s motto as a teenager. Shortly before her 50th birthday, the cabaret artist and wife of Gernot Rudle, who achieved cult status as « Frau Knackal », ventured out onto the dance floor. Now only the left-right problem remains to be solved. Together with her professional partner Florian Gschaider, she presents a cha-cha-cha for Michael Jackson’s « Billie Jean ».

Dirk Heidemann especially praises Monica Weinzettl’s outfit, he also liked the rhythm. However, he would like more beautiful, closed feet. « You are the country’s sex symbol, and I expected more of you to flirt, » says Karina Sarkissova, referring to Weinzettl’s alter ego « Frau Knackal ». Balazs Ekker still sees a lot to do, Nicole Hansen has seen a lot of power. Overall, the couple can look forward to 25 points. Florian Gschaider has two reasons to be happy, the professional dancer became little Simon’s father three weeks ago.

Riem Higazi is « at home, baby »

« FM4 – you are at home, baby » – many probably mainly know Riem Higazi’s voice. With « Dancing Stars » the radio presenter wants to prove that she can also be at home on the dance floor. Together with her professional partner Dimitar Stefanin, who is making his debut on the ORF show, she presents a slow waltz to « Nothing Else Matters » and then says that this is one of the « coolest moments in her life ».

« I congratulate you, you gave me the first goosebumps this season, » said Karina Sarkissova. She felt Riems enjoy dancing, says the enthusiastic ballerina. Balazs Ekker thinks it’s good that the couple got along without lifting figures, Nicole Hansen (« You can feel the heart, the harmony ») just wants to hug the dancers. Dirk Heidemann agrees, he too found the performance « totally positive and warm ». There are 22 points.

Small damper for Eser Ari-Akbaba

Eser Ari-Akbaba is happy that she can dance with the dashing Italian Danilo Campisi. It is not that good that the ORF presenter broke a rib during the training. But anyone who deals with the weather professionally knows no pain. For « I Gotta Feeling », the couple is now showing a choreographed Cha-Cha-Cha.

Balazs Ekker would have expected a spirited appearance – but unfortunately, in his opinion, nothing of it was to be seen. Nicole Hansen saw the power, but would like a little more quality. Dirk Heidemann immediately demonstrates which hip movements he would have liked. Even Balazs is impressed. Karina Sarkissova, on the other hand, is full of praise: « If it rains for you, it will only be roses. » Overall, the weather lady scores a somewhat disappointing 16 points.

New sport for Niki Hosp

The disco dance lessons are a little off for Niki Hosp, who until recently was always busy with skiing. Her trainer Willi Gabalier is initially primarily concerned with teaching Niki the correct posture. As the first dance, the two present a slow waltz to « Natural Woman » – and Willi is convinced: Niki will squat into the ballroom.

Nicole Hansen found it « very elegant and romantic » and also praised the attitude at the start. Dirk Heidemann would like a little more body contact in the lower center, Karina Sarkissova a little more dance and a little less sport. Niki should take an example from Alexandra Meissnitzer, who made it to the finals a few years ago. Balazs Ekker was too relaxed at the beginning, he expects a little more willingness to take risks with regard to the choreography, because after all, Niki is not the Jazz Gitti (Gabalier’s partner last year, note). « Do that, » says Willi immediately – there are 18 points for the first dance.

Just like after the first show, no celebrity had to leave the dance floor this time either. In the next broadcast, which takes place on Saturday for the first time, things get really serious for the first time, because then the couple that receives the fewest points or calls has danced out.
