For the new season of Star Academy, it is not Kamel Ouali who provides dance lessons but Yanis Marshall. In the columns of Télé 7 Jours, Monday November 7, 2022, he returned to the rumors concerning him.
If Yanis Marshall has collaborated with the greatest artists like Céline Dion or Mariah Carey, the French have discovered it thanks to the new season of the star Academy. Indeed, he succeeds Kamel Ouali and has the mission of giving dance lessons to academicians. An exciting new challenge for the dancer who was not expecting such a pace of work. “The most stressful, finally, is choreographing the Saturday night show, because we only have a few days. In comparison, going to the castle to give my lessons is almost a quiet moment in my day! I’ve been teaching for a long time, so it’s quite natural for me“, he thus confided in the columns of TV 7 DaysMonday, November 7, 2022.
Since joining the program, Yanis Marshall does not hide following what can be said about him on social networks. “It’s human“, he let go. Besides, he took the opportunity to restore a truth about him. “I didn’t read anything unpleasant, apart from a few small errors, such as the fact that I would only be homosexual since 2016, me who came out of my mother’s womb singing Donna Summer“, he launched, laughing. What to put an end to certain rumors when he implies to have always felt homosexual.
Kamel Ouali and Yanis Marshall know each other very well
Regarding the links he could have with Kamel Ouali, again, Yanis Marshall played card on the table. He did not deny that the two professional dancers know each other. “I went to Paris, at 15, with the desire to become one of its dancers in the Star Ac’! Which didn’t happen, because I was too young, but he took me for the musical Le Roi Soleil. We see each other again.” Today, he realizes one of his dreams by being able to be part of the adventure of the star Academy. But at 32, the very sensitive dancer still has other dreams that he would like to realize.
“I would like to open my own dance academy, in the center of Pairs. But my childhood dream would be to put on a permanent show, still in the capital. Like a little Crazy Horse, where the men would dance in heels. With my style, free and uncensored.” Beautiful projects that may be realized thanks to the notoriety that he will enjoy with the star Academy. In the meantime, he still has three big weeks of work to allow the students still present in the adventure to surpass themselves and create dance prowess. For his part, Yanis Marshall should still be surprised by the performances of young singers. By almost every interpretation, he can’t hold back his tears. He does not miss an opportunity to say that he is tired each time, laughing.
