Israeli singer and songwriter Keren Peles, currently a judge on "The Next Star for Eurovision," has revealed her desire to join the reality show "Dancing with the Stars." Peles stated in an interview with "Israel Entertainment" that she has been sending video submissions of her dancing to producer Yoav Tzafir, hoping to be cast. However, Tzafir's reactions have been dismissive, with Peles recounting that he "burst out laughing" at her attempts.

Peles expressed her frustration humorously, calling it a "big mistake and a failure" on Tzafir's part for not recognizing her talent, which she believes is "right in front of his eyes." She compared herself to Anna Aronov, a well-known Israeli dancer, suggesting Tzafir might eventually realize she could be the "next Anna Aronov." Peles emphasized her long-standing dancing abilities, claiming she excelled at folk dancing from childhood and that her family possesses a strong talent for it.

She also playfully speculated that other potential contestants might be intimidated by her presence, leading to her continued exclusion from the show. Peles noted that her "The Next Star" colleague, singer Shiri Maimon, successfully transitioned from the judging panel to the dance floor, reaching the finals of "Dancing with the Stars" and securing third place. Peles, however, expressed confidence that none of her fellow judges could surpass her own hypothetical dancing achievements, stating they "have no chance."
