Completing the jury is Jorge González, who brings his flair and charisma to the panel. Originally from Cuba, Jorge moved to Germany where his career as a choreographer and stylist flourished. Since joining the 'Let's Dance' jury in 2013, he has become synonymous with the show, captivating audiences with his vibrant personality and profession.
Returning to host the show are Victoria Swarovski and Daniel Hartwich.

On the other hand, Daniel Hartwich has been the voice of 'Let's Dance' since 2010, steering the audience through the various segments. Known for his charisma, he has also lent his hosting skills to various other formats besides 'Let's Dance', making him one of the most recognizable faces on German television.
