“Let's Dance” professional Christian Polanc reveals in his podcast which factor in the show has a lot of influence on the final result.
Cologne – The former “Let’s Dance” professional Christian Polanc (45) is no longer swinging his hips in the current season, but chats in his podcast “Let’s Talk About Dance” about the events of the show, his own experiences so far and those of his celebrities Guests.
In the second podcast episode he had ex-handball player Pascal “Pommes” Hens (43), the winner of the 2019 dance season, as a guest.
The two of them talked about the choice of music in the show and the extent to which it might have an influence on the results.
Christian Polanc reveals: This is how the choice of music on “Let's Dance” influences the results
The Paso Doble in the current “Let's Dance” episode brought back memories of Pascal Hens' own experiences with dance in 2019. Hens said he had “a modest song” and said that the music was very important in Paso Doble.
Polanc, who recently also criticized a saying by Joachim Llambi, agreed with him and stated that he had found both music in the Paso Doble by Gabriel Kelly (22) and Sophia Thiel (29) “extremely difficult” in the current season.
Hens then said that it was the same with the other dances: “If you have a song that everyone knows and that is well received, then it’s easy to dance to it.
That's better received, that's normal." Polanc was of the same opinion here too: "Often you're playing around to some shitty music and it still doesn't come across as cool.
And the others just stand there and just look at each other to dramatically beautiful music and they're all like, 'Woah.'
“No way to have a say”: That’s how it works on “Let’s Dance” according to Christian Polanc
In this context, Christian Polanc answered a frequent question from viewers about whether they were allowed to choose the music: "We have no opportunity to have a say." They were allowed to make requests at the beginning of the season, which would be taken into account every now and then, but there were none Guarantee.
“Ultimately you have to take what you get.” Although minor adjustments could be taken into account, he has only experienced two or three times in 15 years that a piece of music was actually swapped for reasons that were understandable from all sides.

There would only be a say in the “Magic Moment” and the “Final Freestyle”.
“Of course, music is also a tool... I don't know whether it's used consciously to have a bit of a control factor.
“I don’t want to accuse anyone of it, but it definitely controls,” Polanc said in his podcast.
This “Let’s Dance” star is threatened with a partner change in the middle of the season.
