Omar Khir Alanam and Kati Kallus eliminated in sixth Dancing Stars show
Omar Khir Alanam: “’Dancing Stars’ was very intense and I learned a lot. I also got to know a wonderful person who I believe and hope will be friends for a long time. I wasn’t doing so well this week and when I saw our clip on the show I was full of that emotion once more. I think that has been noticed. I plan to travel when the point comes where I’m kicked out of the show – one week alone and one week with my son. Then I’ll get back to normal.”
On Friday, April 21, the following couples will be in the seventh “Dancing Stars” show live at 8:15 p.m. on ORF 1: Eveline Eselböck & Peter Erlbeck, Lucas Fendrich & Lenka Pohoralek, Corinna Kamper & Danilo Campisi, Lilian Klebow & Florian Gschaider, Missy May & Dimitar Stefanin as well as Alexander Pointner & Manuela Stöckl.

“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.
