Eden Golan and Artyom Perform Rumba to Eurovision Hit 'Hurricane' on Dancing with the Stars

Eden Golan and Artyom Liaskovski delivered a captivating rumba performance to the song "Hurricane," which represented Israel at Eurovision and placed fifth, on the "Dancing with the Stars" stage aired by Keshet 12. Their dance energized the audience, showcasing a strong connection to the music.

During the judges' feedback, David Dvir noted some minor technical errors in Golan's previous performance but quickly softened his critique with praise, encouraging her to focus on self-improvement. However, judge Anna Aronov openly challenged Dvir live on air, accusing him of showing favoritism towards Golan and applying double standards compared to other contestants. She pointed out specific mistakes in the lifts and stance. Dvir responded by saying other judges were actually harsher on Golan, emphasizing the high level of competition in the show.

This heated exchange between the judges became one of the evening's most talked-about moments. Prior to the performance, social media users debated whether Golan had an unfair advantage due to her extensive stage experience. Golan addressed these claims in an exclusive interview with Srugim, stating she is not a professional dancer and that her stage experience differs significantly from professional partner dancing. She highlighted the intensive learning process she is undergoing in rehearsals with Artyom.

The episode highlighted both the competitive spirit of the show and the challenges faced by performers transitioning into professional dance, with Golan and Artyom continuing their journey on the program.
