Eve Gilles, crowned Miss France 2024, is preparing to take her talents to the dance floor as she partners with newcomer Nino Mosa for the eagerly anticipated new season of Danse avec les Stars 2025. Scheduled to kick off on February 7, this season promises to showcase the chemistry between the two, with all eyes on whether they can break the infamous "Miss curse"—the trend of beauty queens failing to win this high-stakes competition.
The excitement surrounding this pairing is palpable. Nino Mosa, at just 22 years old, may not be widely known yet, but his impressive credentials already speak volumes. He hails from Rhône-Alpes and has made quite the name for himself on the international dance stage. An accomplished dancer, Nino earned third place at the World Championship for dancers under 21 and ranked among the top 20 worldwide for Latin dances last year. He even runs his dance studio, the Fred Astaire Dance Studio, with his longtime dance partner, whom he refers to as his sister.
Miss Gilles, speaking to TF1, declared her participation as "a little girl’s dream." After being informed of her role during the Miss France 2025 gala, her enthusiasm for Danse avec les Stars has soared. "I hope to break the curse of Misses. If none win eventually, there's something wrong," she asserted, framing her aspirations against the backdrop of past contestants' challenges, as if it were time for change.
Despite her eagerness, there’s also evident anxiety about dancing with another person. "It's the thing I'm most afraid of because I'm not necessarily someone tactile. I’ve never danced at the contact of someone," she confessed, providing insight not just about her dance experience but her personal feelings as she steps onto the floor.
Both Gilles and Mosa have already begun to forge their collaboration, with the initial reactions indicating budding chemistry. They were seen smiling and engaged during their first interactions. This partnership’s dynamic has captured public attention, with many hoping their shared enthusiasm and professionalism will translate to strong performances and create memorable moments throughout the season.
The broadcast of Danse avec les Stars 2025 on TF1 will occur every Friday at 21h05, and viewers can expect to see both celebrities and professional dancers returning to the show, along with some new faces, bringing fresh energy to the dance floor.
While previous seasons have seen the likes of Sylvie Tellier, Iris Mittenaere, and Diane Leyre take their turns, Eve Gilles now carries the torch, adding her flair to the competition. It’s worth noting the missed opportunity of several beloved dancers who will not return this season, allowing newer talents like Mosa to shine.
With the season premiere just around the corner, the mounting excitement about Gilles and Mosa's partnership is evident. They are seen as contenders not just for the competition, but as representatives of fresh energy and ambition, eager to change the narrative surrounding Miss France contestants.
Fans are already speculating about how this season will unfurl. Will Nino and Eve's chemistry propel them through the competition? Only time will tell, but for now, audiences around France are waiting with bated breath for February 7, 2025, and the debut of what promises to be another thrilling season of Danse avec les Stars.
