On February 28, 2025, Lénie and her partner Jordan Mouillerac dazzled viewers once again during the much-anticipated Disney Night on Danse avec les stars. This special event featured contestants performing routines inspired by classic Disney tales, with Lénie taking on the challenging foxtrot to the enchanting soundtrack of Alice au pays des merveilles.
Stepping onto the dance floor, Lénie, who rose to fame on the 2023 season of the Star Academy, had already earned significant accolades throughout the competition. The young performer, who is just 19, had previously impressed judges and audiences alike with her contemporary and quickstep performances. This week, the stakes were higher as she prepared to impress with her foxtrot, but not without facing some hurdles.
During rehearsals leading up to the show, Lénie encountered difficulties as she practiced her routine with Jordan. "I feel like my feet are getting in your way," she candidly expressed, acknowledging her challenges. "It's the big mess in your choreography," Jordan replied playfully, highlighting the light-hearted banter between the duo. This rapport has endeared them to fans, showcasing not only their professionalism but also their chemistry as partners.
The foxtrot was no easy feat for Lénie. She remarked, "I'm not making the right faces at the start, at all!" To which Jordan challenged her, saying, "You’re just going to smile." During the final rehearsal, he encouraged her to maintain positivity, even amid complexity: "While you do this complicated step, I want you to smile. We're going to smile!" This mix of encouragement and humor set the tone for their performance.
On performance night, Lénie dazzled the audience with her outfit, dressed as Alice with a blue dress and white apron, perfectly fitting the theme for the evening. Jordan matched her whimsical attire as the Mad Hatter. Their routine was characterized by exquisite synchronization and elegance, which earned praise from the judges.
After their performance, the judging panel responded with enthusiasm. Fauve Hautot was among the first to praise Lénie's delivery, stating, "It's fabulous, it's a 9!" Jean-Marc Généreux added, "Your technique is astounding! You do this with confidence; for me, it's like watching a fairy tale come to life." The judges appreciated Lénie's ability to make her challenging dance look effortless, but not without constructive critique.
Even the notoriously tough judge, Chris Marques, urged her to explore more depth within her character portrayal. He commented, "You can go seek more of your interpretation... it’s confirmed; this is truly like fairy tales come real." Mel Charlot, wrapping up the feedback, praised Lénie’s growth: "The people might not be happy, but I asked you last prime to see much more, and I saw it tonight!" This collective feedback awarded Lénie the highest score of the season so far, with 36 points—an incredible feat highlighting her progression.
Despite facing challenges, Lénie’s determination shone through, propelling her to the top of the leaderboard as she continues her dance competition. With newfound confidence and the backing of her supporters, she appears poised to tackle whatever lies ahead on Danse avec les stars.
