A RTL produced TV-show.

In 2026, Nadja competed on the 19th season of the RTL dance show “Let's Dance.” In the first episode, the official dance partners had not been determined. This was followed by three group performances with temporary partners. Before the end, RTL itself determined the pairs, and Vadim Garbuzov, professional dancer, was chosen as Nadja’s dance partner. During few rehearsals, Nadja experienced physical pain and an accident involving a piece of show equipment that had fallen on her foot. As a result, she bled badly, yet she delivered an outstanding performance with a bandage. She was one of TV viewers' favorites. Many viewers complained on social media about the judges’ low scores, calling them biased. However, she ended up in the bottom two several times in the viewers voting.

Yet her outstanding performances consistently proved to be the highlight. Vadim and Massimo Sinató, also a professional dancer, had always praised how much dedication and professionalism she demonstrates in both of their trainings and during the performances. Nadja would always head to the practice room and rehearse the dance steps while others were having breakfast. Despite the challenges, Nadja demonstrated her ability to slip into different characters and embraced the vibe, particularly in the Charleston and Contemporary numbers. She received three times the full score from the judges.

The eighth episode featured a new challenge. All contestants had to perform two different dances, but the first dance was with a new professional dance partner. Massimo Sinató was chosen for the challenge. Both choreographies were met with applause, but the first was criticized for lacking footwork. Once again, Nadja and Vadim were in the bottom two and ultimately lost due to a low numbers of viewers voting. This caused outrage and anger among viewers, as well as Mr. Joachim Llambi (the strictest member of the jury). Her comrades were also in shoke when the results came in. Nadja was sad to had her last dance at "Let's Dance", but she was happy to be a part of this season and sends love to the candidates. This experience made her motivated to sign in to two dance-classes. But not only that, Nadja going to be a special quest at Let's Dance Tour 2026 to replace Milano on 07., 08., 11., 12., 18. & 20. November 2026. She was at a morning show, "MoMa" ZDF and sang her single, "Es Könnte Nicht Besser Sein" (It couldn't get better), there she got interviewed about her next projects. According to Nadja, she would drope monthly 2026 new solo songs and the new album in 2027.
