Artyom Liaskovski and Romi Nof Win Mentors' Dance Battle on Israel's Dancing with the Stars

Less than a week after Eden Golan announced her withdrawal from the Israeli edition of Dancing with the Stars, her dance partner Artyom Liaskovski took center stage in the mentors' competition alongside dancer Romi Nof. The two won the contest, which featured three dance duels judged by the show's panel, culminating in a surprise jive challenge. Their victory earned them a vacation prize to be claimed at the end of the season.

The mentors' battle is a special episode dedicated to the professional dancers who guide celebrity contestants throughout the season, giving them a chance to showcase their own dance skills. The evening also offered personal insights from the mentors, including Eitan Krips sharing how dance helped him overcome childhood loneliness and insecurity, and Ivan Denisov recounting a traumatic violent incident in Russia that motivated his immigration to Israel. Artyom Liaskovski was visibly emotional when Eden Golan praised his performance.

Supporters of the mentors, including celebrities and fans, attended the event with signs, shirts, and themed accessories. Liaskovski's win follows Golan's exit, marking the end of his return season after a year off. Previously, he won the competition with Adi Havashosh, though he was injured just before the final, which Havashosh then danced alongside Metanel Konveski.

The mentors' competition is a highlight for fans, showcasing the passion and talent of the professional dancers beyond their roles coaching celebrities.
