Israeli television's version of DWTS satirizes Donald Trump and Melania's campaign rally dance movements
In the world of dance and politics, the Israeli version of Dancing with the Stars, known as Rokdim Im Kokhavim, has made headlines with a routine that has stirred up quite a debate. The performance, set to the lively tune of the Village People's 'YMCA', featured a high-energy dance number that appears to mock former US President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania.
The routine, which has been described as energetic and entertaining, saw two professional dancers take on the roles of Donald and Melania Trump. One of the dancers, Taylor Malkov, portrayed Melania Trump with panache. Malkov, an actress and online personality, was born in the United States but moved to Israel at a young age with her Israeli father and Israeli-born American mother. Before her birth, her parents were temporarily residing in the US.
The routine, which has caused a stir among viewers, mimicked Melania dodging a kiss from Donald Trump, a moment that was met with laughter and gasps from the live audience. Some viewers have expressed their displeasure, particularly those who are Republicans, at the dancing after a megabill passed.
However, the performance has also been praised for its creativity and entertainment value. Taylor Malkov and her dance partner, Haim Pershtein, were commended for their lively performance.
