Actress Anna Safroncik joined the new season of the Rai program ‘Ballando con le Stelle’ as a contestant, dancing with instructor Leonardo Lini.

Following a performance, Safroncik addressed public criticism regarding her dance routine. She expressed feeling “massacred” by the reaction and noted that the presence of her mother in the studio may have affected her performance. Safroncik also addressed a perceived lack of professional synergy with Lini and declined to comment on rumors regarding a romantic relationship between the two.

In subsequent discussions on the spin-off program ‘Ballando Segreto’, Safroncik provided further detail regarding her struggles. She explained that seeing her mother in the audience caused her to lose concentration, leading to a momentary paralysis on stage and a panic attack. 

Regarding her relationship with Lini, Safroncik admitted to having a harsh reaction toward him following her mistake on stage. However, after reviewing the footage, she acknowledged she had been too hard on him, noting the difficulty of being taught by someone much younger. She expressed a desire to move past the incident and build more trust with her instructor. Safroncik also noted the emotional weight of the backlash, stating that after thirty years of a professional career without significant errors, the recent mistake felt overwhelming. She emphasized her intense self-criticism, stating, “I never make mistakes, I cannot afford to make mistakes.”
