FORNEBU (VG) Saturday night is scheduled for the premiere of the sixth season of “Skal vi danse”.
Twelve nervous and excited celebrities were taking to the dance floor on Saturday with television cameras on for the first time.
There was great excitement associated with, among others, the athlete Birgit Skarstein (31), who is the first participant in “Skal vi danse” who is in a wheelchair.
Before the contestants hit the floor, Judge Trine Deli Kleve said they would judge Skarstein on an equal footing with the other contestants.
Together with his dance partner Philip Raabe (20), they ended the dance show with loud ovations.
Of the judges, they got 28 points for their waltz and thus got the highest score of the night.
– To all those at home who have asked how this can go, now they see it, said Judge Trine Dehli Cleve.
– Don’t remember anything
The first to go on stage was presenter Marte Bratberg, known as “Kompani Laurtizen.”
– I do not remember anything, I only remember that I am going against the judges, says Mars to VG.
She says she was told Friday night that she was opening the show and that she was mentally unprepared for it.
– It has been a roller coaster of emotions and suddenly it is over, he says.
She was praised by the judges for her charisma and received a total of 24 points.
Ski legend Thomas Alsgaard (48) made a big impression during his first dance on the dance floor together with his dance partner Rikke Lund (25).
VG has previously mentioned that it has been “terrified” and feared a blackout. After his jive’s performance, Alsgaard says he is very satisfied with the night’s performance.
– Yesterday in the recording of the trial, fear took over completely. Yesterday he was very depressed, it was heavy and not so much fun, he tells VG.
Despite Friday’s loss, he managed to enjoy himself during Saturday’s premiere.
– The first week it seemed impossible, now I really want to dance tomorrow.
Alsgaard impressed the judges, but finished with 17 points.
