“I buy!” Impossible to forget the famous sentence pronounced by Jean-Marc Généreux, ex-historical juror of Dancing with the stars, at the time of reveal his notes to dancers. But being a sworn in the famous hook of TF1, which will sign its big return on September 9, 2022, is not Not that easy. “Rating art is a concept! We’re not going to lie to each other, it’s totally approximate. You have to follow your instincts. Afterwards, there are many criteria to take into account: the technique, the presence, the emotion released, the management of stress, the way of captivating us… I have already had tears in my eyes in front of certain dancers”, entrusted to TV Starin October 2022, François Alu, illustrious star dancer of the Paris Opera Ballet who took his place alongside the other members of the jury last year.
And the criteria for this new season are likely to be numerous given the largely redesigned jury for this season 2022. If required, Chris Marques will not move from his chair, the latter will be joined once again by Francois Alubut also by Marie-Agnes Gillotdancer and choreographer with an avant-garde spirit, as well as Bilal Hassani, finalist last year. However, last season, the jury had to settle fora single note to be attributed to the dancers. “The jury takes a slightly more important position in terms of decision, the first two weeks in particular. The idea is to eventualize each bonus with twists and turns within the bonuses themselves. For example, on the first two shows, we will be able as a judge to have a crush and potentially send a couple or more directly to the following week. (note: thanks to a buzzer)“, had indicated in 2021 Chris Marques to Melty. It remains to be seen whether the formula will remain unchanged for this twelfth season.
Dancing with the stars: authenticity, simplicity, rhythm
Dance with the stars is a program of a particular kind. Indeed, it is difficult for singers, actors or comedians to string together breathtaking choreographies with little or no experience in the field. “It’s not a gala of celebrities who come to show themselves on TV and dance a little. It’s a ballroom dancing competition in which celebrities participate in the most honest way possible”, told our colleagues from 20 Minutes, Géry Leymergie, deputy director general in charge of content at BBC Studios France.
