StarDance episode 4: Polák and Mašková leave the dance show

Tomáš Polák and Adriana Mašková eliminated from StarDance

In the fourth episode of StarDance on Oct. 31, 2026, seven couples performed the waltz, quickstep and paso doble. The judges gave the highest score, 36 points each, to Luciana Tomášová and Robin Ondráček and to Tomas Sean Pšenička and Natálie Otáhalová. Tomáš Polák and Adriana Mašková, who scored the lowest, left the show.

Waltz, quickstep and paso doble

Tomášová and Ondráček went first: their waltz to Fascination earned 36 points. Polák and Mašková, both in tailcoats, danced a quickstep to Revolution Come Knockin’ and received 21 points. Sára Prachař Sandeva and Daniel Makovec, the first to perform a paso doble that night, showed the fiery Spanish dance imitating a bullfight, wearing black-and-white costumes meant to express opposition. The judges gave them 30 points.

Pšenička and Otáhalová danced a waltz to Suddenly and also scored 36 points. Before the viewer vote, they shared first place with Tomášová and Ondráček.

Jandová’s mistake and a “Brno” toreador

Marta Jandová and Martin Prágr, in bright yellow-and-black costumes, performed a fast quickstep to Rock This Town. Jandová herself noticed her mistake: “Mistakes happen, we are not robots, but in the second half, once I got back on track, I enjoyed it.” The judges did not forgive the error and gave the couple 24 points.

Tomáš Matonoha and Lenka Nora Návorková chose “Les toréadors” from “Carmen” for their paso doble and wore fiery red costumes. Judge Tatiana Drexler said of the number: “It was very strange… partly a csárdás, partly I don’t know what.” Jana Burkiewiczová added that she did see the toreador, but he spoke in Brno slang. The couple received 26 points.

The last waltz of the night was danced by Vojtěch Dyk and Catharina Málek to What The World Needs Now Is Love. The judges first praised the couple with minor reservations and then awarded them 32 points.
