“I’m someone who likes to cross red lines”

From politics to the dance floor: from March, the former leader of the Green Party, Eva Glawischnig (55), will be taking to the dance floor on "Dancing Stars". Why is she doing this? Actually, she teaches Machiavelli for women. 

A smooth dance floor, one step forward and then one step back. She knows all that from politics. And yet the leap that Eva Glawischnig is taking with her start on "Dancing Stars" is huge. Every Friday from March, the former leader of the Green Party will be sweeping across the dance floor (alongside celebrities such as Simone Lugner). She has no dancing skills that go beyond the Upper Carinthian dance circle.
