Why is "Let's Dance" not live? Many RTL viewers will ask themselves this question on Friday evening. We clarify.
- Good Friday is a dance ban for "Let's Dance".
- No live show on RTL , but instead "The greatest let's dance moments of the jurors".

Cologne - On February 21, 2020 the 13th season of "Let's Dance" started.

"Let's Dance" takes a break at Easter: dance ban on Good Friday and corona virus paralyzes everything
This year everything is different anyway. The contact restrictions that the corona virus brings with it have already paralyzed public life . It hardly matters that every Easter at many cities and towns in Germany there is discussion about whether the ban on dancing and events on Good Friday is still up to date.
With “Let's Dance”, RTL adheres to the strict rules every year
Good Friday, which always falls on the Friday before Easter Sunday , is considered a so-called silent holiday. That means a general ban on dancing in Germany . RTL has always adhered to the strict regulations so far. On Good Friday, the broadcaster always waived the live broadcast of "Let's Dance" . Also this year the participating celebrities, the 13th season that started, will not whirl live on the floor.
"Let's Dance" fans can still be happy
Instead of a new live show, the RTL “The Greatest Let's Dance Moments of the Jury” will run on RTL on Friday from 8.15 pm Dance fans do not have to do without emotional “Let's Dance” appearances completely. The audience can look forward to a compilation of the best salsa, tango and Viennese waltz moments.
The judges of the dance show show their very personal "Let's Dance" highlights. Motsi Mabuse, Joachim Llambi and Jorge González lead the audience through the show and present their best-of moments from 13 “Let's Dance” seasons.

When will “Let's Dance” be live on RTL again next time?
From April 17, the live shows can be seen again as usual - however, as currently all programs without studio audience.
In the sixth live show of the current season last Friday (April 3), the audience was very warm : the show was all about love and the dances were all very emotional. Ulrike von der Groeben and Valentin Lusin didn't bring the “Love Week” that much luck, they had to go, which outraged some fans.
