A terrible story that we discovered at the very beginning of the new season of the show.
After the bonus of October 16, the 13 apprentice artists of the star Academy had their first performing class the next day. An opportunity for Laure Balon, their teacher, to talk about her professional career. She first congratulated the students after their first appearance on stage and for having been selected for this new edition. Then, the one who succeeds Raphaëlle Ricci-Foulon, spoke about her career which has not been easy, to say the least.
“I tell you quickly about me. I started ballet very early. I’ve spent my life at the bar, suffering with tiptoes, bleeding feet, and doing lots of competitions. I became a ballerina at 18, had a big career for ten years, and my career ended on stage in a second“, she confided, visibly moved, before adding: “I had a serious accident and my life collapsed.“
