Professional challenge at “Let’s Dance”Kiss on the dance floor! Massimo Sinató and Isabel Edvardsson are speaking now
This dance was pure passion!
The two professional dancers Isabel Edvardsson and Massimo Sinató have known each other for more than two decades, but at the “Let's Dance” Professional Challenge 2026 the two will be on the dance floor together as a dancing couple for the first time. They came up with something very special for their rousing Charleston: the professionals kissed in the middle of the choreography. The two are actually not lovers at all. They tell us how this came about in the video.
There's a kiss in the middle of Charleston
Isabel Edvardsson and Massimo Sinató have been among the most famous faces of the “Let's Dance” family for years. What's even more surprising is that although the two have known each other for 22 years, they have never danced together before.
This will finally change at the 2026 Professional Challenge. For their Charleston, the two slip into “Pirates of the Caribbean” roles and not only get people talking with their spectacular steps, but also with a surprising scene. In the middle of the performance the two professionals kiss on the parquet – a moment that causes a stir among the audience.

“Let's Dance” professionals are “like brother and sister”!
After their performance, Massimo explains: “We were two Jacks who kissed.” And Isabel adds with a laugh: “Yes, that was it. Two men who kissed.”
In any case, the professional dancer leaves no room for speculation. “I think we've forgotten that again. Massimo and I, we're like brother and sister. That's all. Everything is easy peasy for us.” After all, both professional dancers are happily married and have a family.
