The exciting dance competition, "Danse avec les Stars," is back this year on TF1, captivating fans since its launch on February 7, 2025. Audiences are thrilled to see celebrities like Lénie from Star Academy, Adil Rami, and sitcom favorite Mayane take to the dance floor. Mayane, who has recently garnered significant fame due to her role in "Un p'tit truc en plus," shines as she dances alongside her partner, Christophe Licata, bringing both enthusiasm and talent to the beloved show's format.
Mayane's mother recently shared her pride over her daughter's remarkable ascent. Speaking to Gala, she recalled the moment when they first connected with director Stéphanie Pillonca, who was drawn to Mayane's vibrant personality. "J'étais sceptique, mais Mayane était très introvertie. À ma grande surprise, elle a dit oui," her mother reflected on the leap of faith they took, leading to Mayane's concrete successes.
Fervently committed to her role, Mayane has actively engaged with the rigorous training schedule. "Pour me préparer physiquement, je me suis mise à monter à pied les six étages de mon immeuble!" she said, highlighting her dedication to fitness and dance practice. Mayane's energy and determination evidently fuel the team's dynamics, as she jokes about her partner often needing to keep up. "Quand on s'entraîne, c'est lui qui doit m'arrêter, il est fatigué avant moi!" Mayane quipped, signaling the fun nature of their training.
This week, the show's contestants are immersing themselves in the enchanting world of Disney classics. Lénie and her partner Jordan Mouillerac will dazzle viewers with their foxtrot to the whimsical notes of "Alice au Pays des Merveilles." Meanwhile, Olympic swimmer Florent Manaudou and his partner Elsa Bois are set to enchant audiences with their tender routine based on "L'amour brille sous les étoiles" from "Le Roi Lion."
Mayane and Christophe also have their eyes set on captivating the judges with their performance of "Partir là-bas" from "La Petite Sirène." The pair has set the groundwork for another touching performance, evidenced by the chemistry they displayed behind the scenes. "Je danse avec un partenaire charmant! Il danse très bien, j'adore!" Mayane gushed, reflecting on their shared camaraderie and dynamic. "On a une très belle complicité," she noted, with Christophe affirming, "On impressionne que se connaître depuis toujours!" This mutual affection showcases their bond going beyond just dance.
The emotional connection even led Christophe, 38, to nearly withdraw from the competition prior to meeting Mayane. "À la base, je ne savais pas trop si je voulais revenir cette année, parce que ça fait déjà quatorze ans et que j'ai un petit garçon. Mais quand j'ai vu Mayane, j'ai eu un coup de cœur," he admitted, marking the turning point for both their journeys. Their incredible chemistry is evident each week, and viewers wait with bated breath to watch them perform.
Behind-the-scenes moments have also captivated fans, as Mayane, Lénie, and Jungeli have shown off their playful nature during rehearsals. Their TikTok sessions have not only highlighted their tight-knit community but also the fun moments shared during the grueling training, showcasing just how behind-the-scenes camaraderie is built amid talented competition.
