Oana Nechiti and Erich Klann are two outstanding professional dancers who have made a strong impact on the international dance scene. Oana, born in Romania, discovered her passion for dance at an early age and became widely known through the TV show “Let’s Dance.” Her creativity and talent have established her as a sought-after choreographer who is also actively involved in social projects. Erich Klann, born in Germany in 1985, started dancing at the age of ten and went on to win numerous national and international titles. He also gained recognition through “Let’s Dance,” where he impressed audiences with his exceptional skill and stage presence. Together, they share a deep passion for dance and frequently collaborate on innovative artistic projects. Both are highly committed to supporting young talent and regularly host workshops to pass on their experience and knowledge. In their free time, they enjoy traveling and drawing inspiration from different cultures to further develop their artistic vision. For Oana and Erich, dance is a universal language that brings people together.

Natalia was born in Lublin, Poland, where she began dancing as a child and quickly achieved national success. As a teenager, she lived in Latvia for three years to pursue her dance career, gaining recognition on the international stage as well. In autumn 2015, she moved to Germany to begin a partnership with Lars and build a shared professional future. Lars was born in Kempen on the Lower Rhine and learned to dance at an early age in his parents’ dance club in Krefeld. Over the years, he achieved both national and international success with his previous partners before meeting Natalia in 2015, when they decided to represent Germany together. Natalia and Lars turned professional in February 2017 and went on to become German Professional Champions in the Latin American dances as well as in Latin Showdance. Internationally, they won the American Dance Sport Festival in the Professional division and reached the finals of both the World and European Championships. In addition to their competitive careers, they are active as trainers, adjudicators, and officials for the German DanceSport Federation.

Verena & Simon have been on the dance floor since childhood. Throughout their careers, they have competed in numerous national and international tournaments. Both are current state champions in their respective regions of Baden-Württemberg and Saxony. They first met in 2020 during a training session in Simon’s hometown of Freiburg. From the very beginning, they connected instantly and shared the same passion and mindset. At that time, however, both were still dancing with different partners. In 2022, Simon moved to Jena to pursue his studies, bringing him much closer to Verena’s hometown of Leipzig. It quickly became clear that they were not only a perfect match on the dance floor but also on a personal level. In June 2023, Verena and Simon officially formed a dance partnership. Since then, there has hardly been a day when they have not trained and danced together. They are known for their discipline, boundless energy, and positive charisma, which consistently captivate and inspire their audiences.

Zsófia and Domenico have been gliding across the dance floor since a young age and successfully compete together in the professional division of the German DanceSport Association. As a team, they are the reigning German Champions in Latin and Showdance, semi-finalists of the 2024 European Championships in Leipzig and the World Masters in Innsbruck, as well as finalists at the Euro Dance Festival at Europa-Park Rust, alongside many other achievements. As an active competitive dance couple and show act for events and television, they captivate audiences with their expertise in the Latin dances Samba, Cha-Cha, Rumba, Paso Doble, and Jive. In addition, both professionals are passionate about sharing their knowledge and experience with young dance couples, competition groups, and dance clubs. Zsófia was born in 1984 in Debrecen, Hungary, and grew up in Germany. Throughout her career, she has celebrated numerous notable successes, including becoming a finalist at the German Open Championships and ranking among the world’s top 20 dance couples. Domenico, whose roots are in Sicily, was born in 1990 in Calw, Germany.
