Special Episodes
After the final of the second and third season a "Dancing Stars Best of" was aired and after the "Best of" of Season 3 there was a special episode called " Dancing Stars – Die Traumhochzeit" (Dancing Stars – The Dream Wedding) in which the professional ballroom dancers Balázs Ekker and Alice Guschelbauer got married. Another "Best of" was aired before the start of season 5. After the fourth season, there was a special episode called "Dance for Europe" in which the couple to represent Austria at the Eurovison Dance Contest 2008 was selected. The couples to participate in this episode were:
- Julia Polai with Peter L. Eppinger
- Alexander Kreissl with Simone Stelzer
- Alice Guschelbauer with Michael Tschuggnall
- Balázs Ekker with Nicole Beutler
- Michaela Heintzinger with Gregor Bloéb
- Manfred Zehender with Christine Reiler
- Alexander Zaglmaier with Zabine Kapfinger
- Nicole Kuntner with Dorian Steidl
Andy and Kelly Kainz who represented Austria in the Eurovision Dance Contest 2007 (5th place) did not participate in this special episode due to conflicting schedules. The winners were Nicole Kuntner and Dorian Steidl who later came second last at the Dance Contest in Glasgow. Before the start of season four, ORF aired the reality show "Dance with Me" in which the private life of the professional dancers was shown. During season five, a dance course was aired in which the professional dancers taught the viewers basics of Cha-Cha-Cha, Rumba, Jive, Samba, Paso Doble, English Waltz, Slow Foxtrot, Quickstepp, Tango and Viennese Waltz.
