FORNEBU (Dagbladet): At the same time as the Norwegian people are enjoying a reopened Norway, it was time for Saturday night another round on the dance floor for the “Shall we dance” participants.
The theme for the evening was “the moment”, and the celebrities, together with their professional dancers, were to dance to stories from their own lives. It offered a lot of emotion.
The first person on the stage was Simon Nitsche and his dance partner Helene Spilling. They danced jive to the song “Rebel Yell” by Billy Idol, dedicated to Nitsche’s own father.
Nitsche has been high on the points lists from the first program, and also delivered this Saturday night.
His father, Thorsten Nitsche, has lived a musical life, and it is one red guitar in particular that has gained great sentimental value for Simon. Through the jive, he wanted tonight to pay tribute to his father’s musicality.
– Incredibly tough and cool. Very fun, says Simon after the dance.
– For a start on a day like this, where we are all happy and will finally live life again. Absolutely cool !, says judge Trine Dehli Cleve after the dance.
Cleve also followed up the compliments, when she was going to give points.
– Approaching the perfect ,, says Cleve when the points are given.
Simon and Helene got a total score of 28, including one ten.

Danced to tears
Number two on the floor is Royane Harkati and dance partner Ole Thomas Hansen. Royane danced for her children, and ended the dance choked with tears.
– Absolutely fantastic, says a touched Morten Hegseth after the dance.
– This was dance in real life, as it should be. Absolutely fantastic !, Merete Lingjærde follows up.
Royane and Ole got, like Simon and Helene, 28 points.
Danced for the buddy
The third person to dance tonight was Dennis Vareide, who last week was in danger of breaking out. He has received harsh criticism in previous weeks for his dancing, but this week the judging panel believes that Vareide has risen.
This week he danced for his friend Preben “Prebz” Stokkan, with whom he shared the YouTube channel “Prebz and Dennis” for several years. Some time ago, however, Dennis decided to end the collaboration, but does not hide that his friend still means a lot.
– You have developed !, says Merete Lingjerde after the dance.
Dennis and Lillian ended up with 19 points.
– Changed everything
Tonight, Vinni and Rikke danced a modern dance to the song “Balcony”, and the story he conveyed was when he realized that he did not understand what love is.
The moment he is aiming for is when he and his ex-wife went their separate ways, and started going into couples therapy.
Vinni himself describes the moment as something that “changed everything”.
– This can go a long way !, Morten Hegseth states after the dance.
– This was real, this was you, Vinni, says Lingjærde.
Tonight, Vinni harvested his first ten, and ended up with a score of 26.
