Let's Dance Pros Kiss on Stage Was a Choreographed Jack Sparrow Moment

Overview

• During the Profi-Challenge that ran in early June the veteran professionals Isabel Edvardsson and Massimo Sinató performed a Jack Sparrow–themed Charleston and kissed as part of the choreography.
• Both dancers told RTL that the kiss was non‑romantic, describing it as "two Jacks" or "two men" and stressing their roughly 22‑year friendship and easy rapport.
• The pair finished second in the Profi‑Challenge final behind Anastasia Maruster and Vadim Garbuzov.
• RTL told reporters that this year's Profi‑Challenge pairings were not drawn at random but were intentionally assembled by the broadcaster, a production detail that changed who danced together for the first time.
• Both performers have established family lives—Edvardsson is married with three children and Sinató is married with a young son—which reporters used to underline that the onstage kiss was a staged show moment rather than a personal development.
