Dancing with the Stars 2026: Who took part?

On 6 September, ‘Dancing with the Stars’ returned for its 19th series. Among those competing for the Crystal Ball are Mandaryna, Izabela Kuna, Helena Englert, Joanna Jędrzejczyk, Monika Borzym, Matteo Brunetti and Krzysztof Kwiatkowski. There has also been a change to the judging panel – Julia Wieniawa has joined Iwona Pavlović, Rafał Maserak and Tomasz Wygoda.

Mandaryna has wowed viewers on “Dancing with the Stars”

Mandaryna’s participation in “Dancing with the Stars” has caused quite a stir from the very beginning. Some internet users pointed out that Marta Wiśniewska has extensive dancing experience and wondered whether her presence on the programme was fair to the other contestants. However, once she took to the dance floor, the debate quickly faded into the background.

Mandaryna performed with Krystian Rzymkiewicz. The pair danced the samba and received 28 points from the judges. Tomasz Wygoda praised the singer’s performance, whilst Julia Wieniawa drew her attention to her posture whilst dancing.

Even more praise appeared on social media. Internet users highlighted Mandaryna’s energy, technique and her ease on the dance floor. There was also no shortage of predictions that Michał Wiśniewski’s ex-wife might even make it to the show’s final. Mandaryna’s first dance has therefore shown that she could be one of the most closely watched contestants in this series.

Izabela Kuna’s performance on *Dancing with the Stars* also caused quite a stir. The actress danced the cha-cha with Michał Bartkiewicz, for which the couple received 23 points. However, it wasn’t the dance itself that became one of the most talked-about moments of the evening.

After leaving the dance floor, Paulina Sykut-Jeżyna referred to the actress’s role in the series “Teściowie”. The presenter asked how Wandzia, the character she plays, would have reacted to Kuna’s appearance on “Dancing with the Stars”.

Izabela Kuna replied spontaneously – and used a swear word. The audience reacted with laughter, and Paulina Sykut-Jeżyna instantly turned the whole situation into a joke, pointing out that the film character Wandzia is famous for her blunt language.
