Actress Anna Jakab Rakovská was part of the dance show Let’s Dance for two years. In the ninth series, she was remembered by the audience as a talented dancer who finished in third place with her dance partner Jaroslav Ihring. In the following year, she performed as a presenter alongside Jana Kovalčikova, the winner of the eighth series of the dance show.
While Kovalčikova’s place remained, Jakab Rakovská was replaced by actor, model and finalist of the seventh season of Let’s Dance Adam Bardy.
“It’s not always possible to combine things in such a way that everything works out. And unfortunately, I had to decide not to participate in Let’s Dance this year. I don’t stop dancing and I had a lot of fun hosting, so nothing ends. Let’s Dance remains my heart, but this year I will watch it, enjoy the sight of my friends and live with them in spirit all the beautiful things that this show brings,” she wrote on the social network in March.
Her fans didn’t just have eyes for crying. The actress unexpectedly appeared in the sixth round of the dance show, when the professional dancers were replaced by prominent personalities of the previous series. One of them was Anička, who shone alongside Jakub Jablonský. His dance partner is Anna Riebauerová by default.
After dancing a bravura jiva to the song Why Don’t You Do Right by Beth Hart, Anička met her former colleague Kovalčiková during the live broadcast. She asked her how she felt about returning to Let’s Dance. “I was extremely looking forward to these people, because for me Let’s Dance are people with whom I have huge life experiences, one of the most beautiful,” she said honestly.
She also appreciated the qualities of her dance partner. “And Kubi, he is the king of our year, absolutely deserved, I am abnormally proud of how he is growing. He grabbed my hands, what Anička (Anna Riebauerová) said, he immediately took those steps. Like that level of him. This is a dancer for me. For me, a dancer is a person who can dance everything. And that’s Kubko. So that’s it… I’m proud and grateful, Anička, Kubi, that you invited me,” she thanked for the opportunity.
The presenter directly asked her what she thought about her substitute Bardy. “There are too many people here, I won’t…” she declared first. The director also offered the audience a glimpse of Bardy, who had a slightly surprised expression. Rakovská, however, continued quickly. “You’re great! What are you, you’re amazing,” added the actress, which brought a smile to Bardy’s face.
