They do their best in dance training, and Lucie confided that she often dances despite the pain. “The back is a problem, the legs hurt, the stomach… We won’t even talk about it anymore. My back gets blocked, I got that from the theater, every role takes its toll,” she admitted to eXtra.cz Vondráčková. “Lucka sometimes needs a break from me,” added her dance partner Lukáš Bartuněk. Even so, they are still doing well and are among the favorites of the competition.
Oskar Hes admitted problems with his thumb! And what does he say about being a StarDance favorite?
He has been another hot favorite to win since the first episode Oskar Hess. More than the physical pain, it is the mental pain that bothers me. With their dance partner Kateřina Bartůněk Hrstková, they feel tremendous pressure. “That time is less and less, and those dances are more and more. They expect more from us, but we are in a really difficult situation now. We will try to fulfill those expectations, but this needs to be said. We are forced to work twice as hard to keep the bar at the same level.” explained Hes, who even admitted that he was looking forward to StarDance being over! “I’m really looking forward to not having to think about the dance steps that await me, but thinking about where I’m going on a trip,” Oskar dreamed. But if he continues to perform brilliantly, he won’t get a day off just like that.

StarDance Struggles: Dancing Through Pain and Pressure
Ah, StarDance. The glamorous world where sequins, sweat, and a hint of insanity collide! You’d think dancing was just about rhythm and flair, but no! Tell that to Lucie Vondráčková, who’s practically transforming the stage into a medical ward with all her complaints. Not to put too fine a point on it, but the way she’s limping through her interviews, you’d think she was auditioning for the role of “The Walking Wounded” in a new horror flick.
“The back is a problem, the legs hurt, the stomach… We won’t even talk about it anymore,” Lucie lamented to eXtra.cz, which surely had the esteemed medical professionals dialing in for an emergency consultation after hearing that list. But let’s be real, if your back is blocking you, perhaps you shouldn’t be doing the cha-cha while juggling flaming torches. But alas, she embraces the pain with a fervor that can only be described as ‘Dancer’s Determination’.
And if you think it takes a near-superhuman effort to keep going, wait till you hear from her dance partner, Lukáš Bartuněk. He cheekily confessed, “Lucka sometimes needs a break from me,” suggesting that between the complicated choreography and the existential crisis that comes with it, a little ‘me time’ is a must! Yet despite the aching limbs and questionable sanity, they remain crowd favorites! Go figure.
Now enter Oskar Hes, who’s not only nursing a painful thumb but also an overwhelming pressure—because nothing screams ‘fabulous dancer’ quite like a sore digit and a crumbling psyche! Speaking of pressure, Oskar and his partner, Kateřina Bartůněk Hrstková, are clearly feeling the weight of expectation. “That time is less and less, and those dances are more and more,” he explained, sounding like he was trying to calculate the rate of his downward spiral.
It seems like while we’re all glued to our screens, munching popcorn, these dance celebrities are struggling with their choreography while juggling real-life concerns—like plans for a much-needed getaway. “I’m really looking forward to not having to think about the dance steps that await me, but thinking about where I’m going on a trip,” he said wistfully—clearly already daydreaming of sandy beaches and tropical cocktails.
Not to be outdone, our veteran star, Lucie, is also feeling a bit blue, not just from her physical woes, but because the jury seems to be handing down the critiques like they’re trying to audition for the ‘Meanest Judge’ award. It’s not just the gowns that are getting ripped apart—her spirits took a hit along with her scoring! Living proof that even when you’re a professional, the psychic toll is very real.
So, as we settle in for another episode of StarDance, let’s remember that behind the glitz and glam, there’s a lot of dancing through pain and pressure. Who knew the dance floor could double as a therapy session? But hey, it’s all part of the show, right? Now, grab your popcorn — this performance is just getting started!
Despite the rigorous demands of dance training, Lucie Vondráčková revealed that she persists in honing her skills even while battling significant discomfort. “The back is a problem, the legs hurt, the stomach… We won’t even talk about it anymore. My back gets blocked, I got that from the theater, every role takes its toll,” she candidly shared in an interview with eXtra.cz. Vondráčková openly addresses the physical challenges that accompany her dedication to performance, indicating the stark realities faced by artists. “Lucka sometimes needs a break from me,” her dance partner, Lukáš Bartuněk, added, highlighting the demanding nature of their rehearsals. Nevertheless, their hard work and dedication have kept them in the running as fan favorites in the competition.
Oskar Hes admitted problems with his thumb! And what does he say about being a StarDance favorite?
Ever since the debut episode, Oskar Hess has emerged as a formidable contender for the coveted title. More than the physical pain, it is the mental weight of the competition that weighs heavily on him. In tandem with his dance partner, Kateřina Bartůněk Hrstková, they experience immense pressure to deliver outstanding performances. “That time is less and less, and those dances are more and more. They expect more from us, but we are in a really difficult situation now. We will try to fulfill those expectations, but this needs to be said. We are forced to work twice as hard to keep the bar at the same level.” Hes laid bare the intensity of their situation, even hinting at his eagerness for the competition to conclude. “I’m really looking forward to not having to think about the dance steps that await me, but thinking about where I’m going on a trip,” Oskar candidly expressed, sharing a glimpse into his aspirations beyond the dance floor. However, with his remarkable performances, it appears he may not enjoy a break anytime soon.

**Interview with Lucie Vondráčková and Oskar Hes: Dancing Through the Struggles of StarDance**
**Interviewer:** Welcome, Lucie and Oskar! Thank you for joining us. Lucie, you’ve been quite vocal about your physical challenges during this season of StarDance. Can you elaborate on what you’ve been experiencing?
**Lucie Vondráčková:** Thank you for having us! It’s been… challenging, to say the least. I often find myself in pain — my back is a real issue, and it feels like everything from my legs to my stomach is protesting against the rigorous training. I sometimes feel like I’m auditioning for “The Walking Wounded” because I’m limping through rehearsals!
**Interviewer:** That sounds tough. How do you manage to keep going despite the pain?
**Lucie Vondráčková:** It’s a mix of determination and passion for dance. I love what I do, and even if my body is telling me to stop, the thrill of performing pushes me forward. But I must admit, some days I really need a break, and that’s where my dance partner, Lukáš, comes in.
**Interviewer:** Speaking of your partner, Lukáš, you mentioned that Lucie sometimes needs a break from you. What’s that like in practice?
**Lukáš Bartuněk:** (laughs) Well, it’s true! With the intensity of rehearsals and competitions, we definitely have our moments of stress. Sometimes, stepping back for a moment helps us both reset and come back stronger. It’s all part of managing our energy while striving for the best performance.
**Interviewer:** Now, Oskar, you have your own struggles too! You mentioned having issues with your thumb. How does that affect your performance?
**Oskar Hes:** Yes, my thumb has definitely been a thorn in my side! More than that, though, the mental pressure we face as favorites in the competition is immense. It feels like as we progress, the expectations only grow higher and higher. We’re constantly racing against time to polish our routines while juggling everything else.
**Interviewer:** How do you stay motivated despite these pressures?
**Oskar Hes:** It’s tough, but I try to focus on the joy of expressing myself through dance. Plus, I daydream about what I’ll do once the show is over—like planning a trip! Just thinking about relaxing on a beach keeps me energized.
**Interviewer:** Lucie, you’ve mentioned feeling a bit down about the criticism from the judges. How do you handle that emotional toll?
**Lucie Vondráčková:** It’s hard. I put my heart into every dance, and when the feedback isn’t what I hoped for, it can feel disheartening. However, I remind myself that the journey is what matters most. Each critique is an opportunity to grow.
**Interviewer:** A great perspective! As we wrap up, both of you are facing incredible challenges yet still shine on stage. What drives you to keep pushing through?
**Lucie Vondráčková:** We love this art form! Dancing is therapeutic in its own way, despite the struggles. It’s about sharing joy and connecting with the audience, which makes it worth every bruise and ache.
**Oskar Hes:** Absolutely! The thrill of showing what we’ve worked on and the support from our fans motivates us to keep giving our all, no matter what.
**Interviewer:** Thank you both for your candidness and for sharing your journey with us. Best of luck in the rest of the competition!
**Lucie Vondráčková & Oskar Hes:** Thank you! We’ll keep dancing through the pain!
