Jan Kittmann Impresses on Let’s Dance as Salsa Scores Slip

Years of training now show in a mostly high-scoring run on RTL’s Let’s Dance.

Overview

Jan Kittmann, a GZSZ actor, is competing on RTL’s celebrity dance contest Let’s Dance with pro partner Kathrin Menzinger and earned early high marks, including a 10 from juror Jorge González for a Slowfox.
Following strong weeks, his Salsa in Show 7 scored 23 points as chief judge Joachim Llambi issued pointed criticism.
Kittmann says the show fulfills a 15-year dream and he expects the challenge to push him past his limits.
His TV profile rose through Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten, where he has played Tobias Evers since 2020 after roles on Das Traumschiff and Die Klempnerin.
He brings formal training from the Theaterakademie Vorpommern and years with the Berlin jazz-modern group Outfaced, which won multiple local championships.
