On March 28, 2025, the popular dance competition show "Danse avec les stars" on TF1 welcomed a special guest judge, Kamel Ouali, who is well-known for his previous role as a dance instructor on "Star Academy." This episode turned out to be a memorable one, as Ouali brought an extra challenge to the contestants, particularly for the talented Lénie, who dazzled the audience with her performance.
Ouali's role as the fifth judge was not just a formality; he actively engaged with the contestants by assigning them unique challenges for their dances. For Lénie, the challenge was particularly daunting. She was tasked with performing two lifts during her routine, a feat that initially filled her with trepidation. Lénie had to lift both her partners, Jordan Mouillerac and Jean-Marc Généreux, which made her anxious during rehearsals. However, once the music started, she rose to the occasion.
During the show, Lénie and Jordan Mouillerac performed a vibrant jive to the classic tune "Proud Mary" by Tina Turner. This upbeat number is known for its energy and technical demands, and Lénie executed it with remarkable skill. She first lifted Mouillerac, seamlessly transitioning into three impressive wheels, showcasing her strength and coordination. After a series of intricate dance moves, she then lifted Généreux, further proving her capabilities on the dance floor.
Despite her initial fears, Lénie’s performance was nothing short of explosive. The judges were clearly impressed, with Fauve Hautot and Mel Charlot both awarding her a perfect score of 10. Chris Marques, also impressed by her jive, gave her a score of 9. However, Kamel Ouali, the most critical of the judges, scored her an 8, noting a slight dip in energy during the routine. "I was expecting the pinnacle of performance; you are incredibly talented. It was great, but there was a moment when your energy dipped. Because of that, I’m giving you an 8... but for me, that’s still a very good score!" he remarked.
Despite Ouali's slightly lower score, Lénie finished the night with a total of 36 points, a score that reassured her partner Mayane, who was also competing in the same episode. Their team, led by Généreux, could potentially face off against each other in the final showdown if they ended up with the lowest scores.
As the competition heats up, fans of "Danse avec les stars" can expect more thrilling performances and challenges in the coming weeks. The show continues to air every Friday at 21:05 on TF1, with viewers eagerly anticipating the next round of dazzling displays from their favorite contestants.
In summary, the episode of "Danse avec les stars" on March 28 was a showcase of talent, determination, and the joy of dance. With Kamel Ouali’s unique challenges and Lénie’s stunning performance, the night was a testament to the hard work and dedication of all contestants involved. As the competition progresses, it will be interesting to see how the contestants adapt to the challenges and continue to impress both the judges and the audience.
