Sound and Smoke on the Fornebu Stage
Treningsprofil Sondre Sundby and his dance partner Norunn Ringvoll secured 23 points from the judges for their paso doble during the second episode of Skal vi danse at Gateway Studios in Fornebu, nettavisen.no reported. Despite the strong score, the pair revealed that technical disruptions during the dress rehearsal nearly derailed their performance when massive smoke cannons on the side of the stage generated overwhelming noise that drowned out the music. Ringvoll expressed relief that they could actually hear the audio during the live broadcast, while Sundby compared the volume of the pyrotechnic equipment to a spaceship. Sundby described the noise as intense, noting that there were so many smoke cannons operating that there would not be anything comparable happening out in Oslo on a Saturday night because all the equipment was concentrated inside the venue.
Judges Score the Paso Doble and Choreography
The high-volume rehearsal obstacles gave way to a successful live outing that earned the pair a score of 23 points and a grade of 4 from Nettavisen entertainment commentator Maria Ludvigsen. Ludvigsen noted that Sundby has improved his technical execution significantly since the premiere, praising the cool choreography and movements while adding that the performance lacked emotional storytelling. Additional coverage from TV 2 detailed the broader competition standings for the evening, noting that Espen PA Lervaag and Sebastian Solberg landed at the bottom of the leaderboard before viewer votes were factored in, ultimately sending Sandra Lyng and Sebastian Solberg into the night’s elimination duel. Following Krogh’s routine, judge Merete Lingjærde offered an admission about receiving rejections before joining the program, while Jan Thomas praised the display as strong and powerful, with the judges awarding scores of 6 + 7 + 7 + 7. Alexander Bonsaksen and his partner Rikke Lund faced added pressure after landing near the bottom in the previous round, performing a routine dedicated to Bonsaksen’s partner of 14 years, former snowboarder Silje Norendal, which earned a score of 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 following feedback from Jan Thomas and Lingjærde. Meanwhile, Sandra Lyng received praise from Nadya Khamitskaya for her star quality and earned a score of 5 + 7 + 6 + 5.
Leah Behn Performs Samba Amid Family Presence
The episode also featured competition entries from other notable participants, including influencer Leah Behn, who opened the night with a samba to Zara Larsson’s hit “Lush Life” and received technical advice from judge Nadya Khamitskaya. Meanwhile, VG noted that Behn recently underwent a tonsillectomy prior to the show’s launch and found the rigorous training schedule a welcome focus following the death of her grandfather, King Harald. Artist Jostein Hamar was seated on the tribune between Behn’s sisters and mother, Princess Märtha Louise, fueling ongoing media interest surrounding her personal life following the premiere. Additional family members in attendance to cheer on the participants included her stepfather Durek Verrett and sisters Emma Tallulah Behn and Maud Angelica Behn.
