Let's Dance 2025: Wer ist raus heute? Taliso Engel's Unexpected Journey
The German dance competition, Let's Dance, is heating up! While the question "Wer ist raus heute?" (Who's out today?) is on everyone's mind, this article focuses on the surprising and inspiring journey of Para-swimmer Taliso Engel, a double Paralympic gold medalist who's bravely stepped outside his comfort zone.
From Paralympic Gold to the Dance Floor
Taliso Engel, a 22-year-old Para-swimmer from Nuremberg with a congenital visual impairment, has already achieved incredible success in the pool. He's a world record holder and a two-time Paralympic gold medalist. Yet, he's traded his swimming trunks for dancing shoes, embracing the challenge of Let's Dance 2025. This courageous move highlights his determination to push boundaries and explore new athletic endeavors. He's partnered with Patricija Ionel and is determined to make the most of this unique experience.
Facing New Challenges with Determination
Let's Dance presents a different kind of physical and mental challenge for Taliso. He acknowledges the differences in physical exertion compared to swimming, expressing both respect and excitement for stepping outside his comfort zone. His goal is not just to improve his dance skills but also to have an "unforgettable time."
Other Notable Contestants
Another prominent contestant, former Olympic gymnast Fabian Hambüchen, is also pushing his limits. Known for his exceptional physique and determination, Hambüchen brings a high level of athleticism to the competition. His journey mirrors Taliso's in their shared desire to transcend their established sporting expertise.

Let's Dance 2025 has already seen its share of eliminations, with Ben Zucker being the most recent contestant to leave the show.
