Eveline Eselböck and Peter Erlbeck are no longer in the race for the “Dancing Stars” victory

Eveline Eselböck: “These eight weeks were a wonderful time for me. Of course, Peter and I knew exactly how far we could get. I really wanted to be on the ‘Magic Moments’ show, we did it – and now we’ve even added a week to it. This is fantastic!”

On Friday, May 5th, the following couples will be in the ninth “Dancing Stars” show live at 8:15 p.m. on ORF 1: Corinna Kamper & Danilo Campisi, Lilian Klebow & Florian Gschaider, Missy May & Dimitar Stefanin and Alexander Pointner & Manuela Stoeckl.

“Dancing Stars” on the ORF – barrier-free for the visually and hearing impaired audience

As with the previous seasons, the “Dancing Stars” 2023 will also be broadcast fully barrier-free on ORF 1: For blind and visually impaired people, all episodes are available in an audio version on the second audio track. The emotions in the ballroom can be experienced live by a dedicated commentator, including for people with visual impairments. Juliana Kühberger, Sandra Spick, Sebastian Aster, Gregor Waltl and Johannes Karner accompany their audience from the premiere to the finale with their special live commentary. The task of the audio commentators is to transport everything that remains hidden from their audience through acoustic image descriptions: such as the appearance of the costumes and the choreography of the dances, gestures, facial expressions and show effects. The audio commentaries spoken live can be heard by switching to the second sound channel on the remote control and on the ORF TV library. In addition, live subtitles are available for deaf and hearing-impaired viewers in ORF TELETEXT on page 777 and on the ORF-TVthek. The barrier-free programs can be accessed seven days a week as video-on-demand on the ORF-TVthek.
