With the festive season just wrapping up, eyes are eagerly shifting to the next big event on RTL: "Let’s Dance 2025." Fans have begun to speculate who might dazzle on the dance floor and vie for the title of "Dancing Star 2025." While most details remain under wraps, one name has reportedly leaked.
Simone Thomalla, the esteemed 59-year-old actress known primarily for her role as the TV commissioner Eva Saalfeld on Leipzig's "Tatort," is now expected to join the competition, according to reports from Bild. For years, producers have had Thomalla on their wish list, hoping for her participation, which they may finally achieve this time around.
Could Thomalla's performance match the success of her daughter, Sophia Thomalla? Sophia previously made her mark on "Let’s Dance" back in 2010, clinching first place with her partner Massimo Sinató. Now, as the spotlight shifts to Simone, fans are eager to see if she can replicate her daughter's success. This familial connection adds another layer of excitement to her upcoming participation.
Interestingly, preparation may be necessary for Thomalla, especially when it involves her footwear choices. Recently, she shared with the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung her preference for comfort over style—opting for jogging outfits and relegated high heels to the back of her wardrobe. "I’ve become a bit more comfortable,” she admitted. “The high shoes usually end up at the back, and at the front, it’s sneakers and boots." It seems Thomalla might need to polish up her high-heeled walking skills for the dance competition.
RTL's "Let’s Dance" has become one of Germany's most beloved television highlights since its inception in 2006. Every year, the competition features celebrities paired with professional dancers, and the dynamic is always engaging. With speculation buzzing about who will join the cast this year, Thomalla’s name has sent excitement rippling through the audience.
For years, producers have attempted to secure Thomalla for the show, but her busy filming schedule has made participation challenging. This time, it appears things may have aligned perfectly, allowing her to finally showcase her dancing skills. Thomalla was previously quoted by Bild at the end of 2022, stating, "It just didn’t fit, maybe some other time." With the stars now aligned, the question remains whether she can dazzle the audience and judges alike.
This upcoming season holds the promise of thrilling competition, and expectations are high for Thomalla’s performance. The judging panel will feature the seasoned Jorge González, Motsi Mabuse, and Joachim Llambi, all of whom will be eager to assess her talent. The stage is set for Thomalla to see if she can impress not just the judges but also the loyal viewers of RTL.
Overall, the anticipation surrounding "Let’s Dance 2025" is palpable, with Thomalla’s anticipated participation being just the tip of the iceberg. Fans are curious to know who else will grace the dance floor and engage with their favorite celebrities. Each season, the show promises surprises, and this time appears to be no different.
For now, the official date for the new season remains undisclosed, leaving fans to wait with bated breath for more details. What will follow next—more casting announcements or perhaps teasers of the choreographed performances?
Whatever the case, Simone Thomalla's name has already begun to stir the excitement necessary for another unforgettable season of dance.
