Information about the new season of the star Academy, whose kickoff is scheduled for October 15 on TF1 from 9:10 p.m., continue to fall. Unlike previous seasons (broadcast between 2001 and 2008), Kamel Ouali will not be in charge of dance lessons.
Our colleagues from Entertainment TV revealed who the production had chosen to take on the role of dance teacher and choreographer for the prime. It is Yanis Marshall, a young man of 32 who already has a great career. Very quickly, the charming brunette became passionate about dancing and in 2012, the public discovered him on the show The Best Dance on M6/W9. A year later, he stood out by posting videos on Youtube in which he performs choreographies in stiletto heels. Internet users are there since it has accumulated millions of views. And in 2014, he made it to the final of Britain’s Got Talent with his acolytes Mehdi Mamine and Arnaud Boursain. We also saw him as a guest on the jury of RuPaul’s Drag Race and season 1 of the phenomenon Drag Race France.
Yanis Marshall has all the assets to be the new dance teacher of the star Academy. He was choreographer of Dance with the stars British and the Ukrainian version of So you think you can dance. And he regularly gives lessons in Paris. There is no doubt that he will therefore be able to bring the 13 students of the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys to the top. Especially since he has ties to the show. When he was only 16, he joined the troupe of Sun King and therefore worked with Kamel Ouali. And the winner of season 1 of tele-hook Jenifer called on him to choreograph her clip On the string.
