They are Nellia and Dietmar Ehrentraut, and they have been dancing together for decades. They dress the part. He wears a brown suit with white dress shoes, and she wears a green patterned dress with black slip-on shoes.

Nellia and Dietmar dance close together under the red stage lights.

She dances with a playful spark, while he stays smooth and calm. Her face shows how happy she is out there. They move like two people who learned long ago to trust each other.

Plenty of viewers say they smiled from the first step to the last, and many try to picture these two as young dancers. One recalls a tall grandfather who was still swinging his tiny wife around the dance floor in their 70s.
