Taniec z Gwiazdami: Helena Englert and Mandaryna emerge as early favorites

The 19th season of the Polish dance competition ‘Taniec z Gwiazdami’ has seen significant early developments. Following the first elimination, where Monika Borzym and Michał Kassin were sent home, the competition has intensified.

Helena Englert has emerged as a strong contender, receiving high praise from judges for her energetic Viennese Waltz. Similarly, Mandaryna has become a central figure and fan favorite; she recently addressed the physical demands of the show, noting that while participants receive remuneration, the intense training schedule requires a significant lifestyle adjustment.

Judge Rafał Maserak highlighted Piotr Gumulec for his notable progress and expressed admiration for Izabela Kuna’s elegant performance. The jury, which now includes Julia Wieniawa, has adopted a stricter scoring approach to better reflect the contestants' technical development over time.
