Anna‑Carina Woitschack Crowned Dancing Star 2026 as Pros’ Profi‑Challenge Is Won by Anastasia Maruster and Vadim Garbuzov

Viewer voting decided the Profi‑Challenge, a production choice that left jurors to comment rather than score and shifted decisive power to the audience.

Overview

  • Anna‑Carina Woitschack was crowned the winner of Let's Dance 2026 and has since shared rare childhood family photos and spoken publicly about her personal life while continuing professional commitments with partner Evgeny Vinokurov.
  • The Profi‑Challenge, which aired on June 5, featured nine newly paired professional duos across three rounds and was won by Anastasia Maruster and Vadim Garbuzov after a viewer vote in the Instant Impro final.
  • RTL structured the Profi‑Challenge so the jury (Jorge González, Motsi Mabuse, Joachim Llambi) could only offer commentary and not award points, making the audience the decisive factor in the result.
  • The show included standout moments such as Isabel Edvardsson and Massimo Sinató kissing during their Charleston and the final podium of Anastasia/Vadim first, Isabel/Massimo second and Evgeny Vinokurov/Patricija Ionel third.
  • RTL confirmed a November–December live Let's Dance tour that returns Renata Lusin to the stage and adds Razvan Dumitrescu, extending the TV season into arena shows in Germany plus stops in Zürich and Vienna.
