If there is one name that has dominated the dance and television world over the years, it is Karaty. He is the face behind international hits like ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ in countries like Canada, Australia and Benelux.

Add to that his work on music videos for stars like Pink and Cascada and it is clear that this man has his finger in the pie everywhere. But it was not all rosy. Besides his iconic role in ‘Holland’s Got Talent’, ‘The Ultimate Dance Battle’ and ‘Everybody Dance Now’, Karaty’s life has also had its darker moments.

Who could have ever imagined that the man we saw shine in ‘Boxing Stars’ and ‘Dancing with the Stars’ struggled internally with an alcohol problem? The news hit like a bomb in 2021, revealing his years-long battle against the bottle.
