Tokio Hotel’s Gustav Schäfer Gains Ground on ‘Let’s Dance’ as Kaulitz Twins Take Playful Shots

Overview

• Schäfer competes on the 2026 season of RTL’s ‘Let’s Dance’ with professional partner Anastasia Maruster.
• His jury scores show a clear climb: 11 points in the Kennenlernshow (Charleston), 18 in Show 1 (Waltz), and 20 in Show 2 (Quickstep), with the Quickstep winning over the panel.
• OK! Magazin reports the Kaulitz brothers said on their podcast they didn’t expect him to last and joked that he “can’t dance.”
