The fourth live show introduced a 'Summer Vibes' theme and the season's first 'Dance Battle,' with mixed reviews for the new group format.

Ben Zucker was eliminated from 'Let's Dance' after earning 16 jury points and insufficient audience votes for his Cha-Cha-Cha performance.
Fabian Hambüchen and Anastasia Maruster topped the leaderboard with 28 points for their Charleston, solidifying Hambüchen's status as a frontrunner.
The 'Summer Vibes' theme showcased a variety of dance styles, including Charleston, Samba, and Rumba, performed by the remaining contestants.
The first 'Dance Battle' of the season saw Team Ananas defeat Team Flamingo, earning 10 extra points per member, though the jury criticized the segment for lack of rhythm and precision.
Marc Eggers made a strong comeback with a 26-point Charleston, finishing second overall for the evening.
