Dancing Stars Shine Brightly On Let's Dance 2025

This season features 14 celebrities vying for the coveted title, but tough eliminations keep competitors on their toes.

The 18th season of the popular dance competition show Let's Dance has kicked off with much fanfare, bringing together 14 celebrities from various backgrounds who are ready to showcase their dancing talents. Since its premiere on February 21, 2025, the competition has seen thrilling performances and several competitions, all aiming for the coveted title of "Dancing Star" 2025.

Judges Motsi Mabuse, Joachim Llambi, and Jorge González are tasked with evaluating the performances of the contestants. The structure of the show involves weekly performances where couples are eliminated based on combined scores from the judges and audience votes. That dual layer adds to the excitement as viewers realize just how unpredictable these weekly eliminations can be.

Among the contestants are notable names such as Simone Thomalla, Christine Neubauer, and the viral sensation Selfiesandra, each bringing their unique flair to the dance floor. Previous experiences of the contestants range from acting careers to social media fame, making the roster diverse and interesting to follow.

During the opening weeks, audiences witnessed the initial introductions of the competitors during the Kennenlernshow (getting-to-know-you show) where no one was eliminated. It was after the first performance show on February 28, 2025, when the competition turned fierce, leading to the first elimination. Osan Yaran and Christina Hänni had to bid farewell, shocking many fans who had invested their hopes and votes.

The eliminations continued swiftly, with Roland Trettl and Kathrin Menzinger leaving the competition on March 3, 2025. Following them, Leyla Lahouar and Sergiu Maruster exited on March 14, 2025. Each week, as stars dropped out, the atmosphere of the show grew tenser, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats. Who would be next?

With viewers tuning in each week, Let's Dance does not just serve as entertainment; it has become a cultural phenomenon where audiences root for their favorites and discuss strategies and performances within various social circles.

According to Prisma, “Schwungvoll ist 'Let's Dance' in die 18. Staffel gestartet,” which translates to “Energetically, 'Let's Dance' has kicked off its 18th season.” This statement aptly describes the high-energy atmosphere permeated through the show as dancers and fans alike embrace the essence of competition.

Looking forward, fans can expect even more drama and dazzling performances. Each elimination brings more focus on the remaining contestants, as strategies evolve and partnerships grow or falter under pressure. The excitement around Let's Dance remains palpable, enticing audiences week after week, eager to see who will rise to the challenge and who will have to step away from the spotlight.

With every dance step, the narrative of the competition continues to develop, showcasing not just the artistry of dance but the personal journeys of those competing. It’s more than just choreography—it's about passion, persistence, and the pursuit of excellence.

Whether you are tuning in for the love of dance or the entertainment value of seeing your favorite celebrities compete, the 18th season of Let's Dance promises to deliver excitement and surprises, just as it has from its very first episode.
