Bar Brimer and Sane Sokol have emerged as one of the leading couples on the Israeli dance competition show "Dancing with the Stars," consistently maintaining a top position since the competition began. Ahead of their first live performance, the pair spoke about the emotional challenges during rehearsals, the encouraging audience feedback, and their hopes for victory. Brimer, who spends long hours rehearsing, is eagerly awaiting the arrival of his partner Agam Buchbut to support him live in the studio. "It will be very emotional to dance in front of her," he said, adding that her presence will give him butterflies and bring good luck.

Sokol also expressed excitement about Buchbut’s upcoming attendance, noting that everyone is curious about when she will come. The duo has received overwhelmingly positive responses from viewers and judges alike, with Brimer highlighting the pride his close circle feels watching him perform. Sokol shared a particularly moving fan message from someone who said their dance helped them recover from abuse, underscoring the impact their performances have beyond entertainment.

Regarding their chances of winning, Brimer acknowledged the strong competition and said they are focusing on their own progress rather than aiming directly for victory. They noted that judge Eli has been tough this season, withholding perfect scores as he watches their development. Both dancers admitted to moments of frustration and mental and physical challenges, especially when learning new dance styles, but emphasized their commitment to enjoying the process and supporting each other. Sokol described how she manages stress by keeping the atmosphere light and fun, while Brimer said they decided weeks ago to focus on enjoying every moment on the dance floor despite the pressure.

The couple’s candid reflections reveal the hard work and emotional resilience behind their success, as well as the anticipation of sharing the stage with Buchbut, which they believe will add a special energy to their performances.
