It was Gérémy Credeville who must have said “goodbye“to his little comrades last week. But the competition continues, willy-nilly, in Dance with the stars, live this Friday, November 12, 2021. And it’s time to make way for the quarter-finals, and to decide between the five surviving couples! More than ever, the candidates will have to seduce the four members of the jury with their choreography … but especially the viewers. The people seated in front of their small screen will indeed be the only ones to decide between our apprentices during the terrible face-to-face ordeal. Let the show begin…
FIRST ROUND OF THE QUARTER-FINALS
Tayc and Fauve Hautot
The bonus of November 12, 2021 is an opportunity for Tayc to pay tribute to all the women in his life. The 25-year-old Marseillais also gave a nod to his idol, Michael Jackson, since he performed a Cha Cha full of energy, with Fauve Hautot, on the title Wanna Be Startin ‘Something. “You have always been criticized for being a little imprecise in the feet. I think you did a real job. Well done for that“congratulated Denitsa Ikonomova.”You’re not far from making me the perfect Cha Cha, added Chris Marques. That’s all, it’s the style, the understanding of the movement. I am very happy.“The duo surpassed their very nice score of 36 last week, reaching 37 points.
The notes :
Jean-Paul Gaultier: 9/10
Denitsa Ikonomova: 9/10
François Alu: 10/10
Chris Marques: 9/10
Total: 37 points
Aurélie Pons and Adrien Caby
Second in the standings last week, Aurélie Pons took on the tough challenge of American Smooth, which mixes different types of ballroom dancing, on the sublime Never enought by Loren Allred. A moment of crazy elegance. “You become more and more aware of your body, of your long lines which are so pretty. It was very delicate, very poetic. I missed the resistance in the movements“admitted François Alu. Too many errors and a lack of fluidity were noted by Denitsa Ikonomova. It will be necessary to find the osmosis, the symbiosis with Adrien Caby to reach the semi-finals …
The notes :
Jean-Paul Gaultier: 8/10
Denitsa Ikonomova: 7/10
François Alu: 6/10
Chris Marques: 6/10
Total: 27 points
Michou and Elsa Bois
Contemporary dance allowed Michou this week to prove that he was becoming a man in front of viewers. On the title Not pretty, from Vitaa & Slimane, the videographer has exorcised his old complexes, his “overweight“, his “buttons“, his “braces“. A nice revenge on the past.”You showed us something strong, admitted Chris Marques. You know how to let go and it’s very difficult. You have to control your body, trust your partner. It is very powerful. The dance was superb in its message. “For the rest of the adventure, you will have to learn to be even more extreme in your movements. Next dance, next chance …
The notes :
Jean-Paul Gaultier: 8/10
Denitsa Ikonomova: 7/10
François Alu: 7/10
Chris Marques: 7/10
Total: 29 points
Dita Von Teese and Christophe Licata
Big comeback for Dita Von Teese, absent from the previous premium due to small health issues. Removed from the TF1 stage by doctors, the queen of stripping has embarked on a samba, both elegant and fiery, with Christophe Licata, on Levitating by Dua Lipa. A somersault, from North America to South America. “We were levitating, recalled Jean-Paul Gaultier. It was wonderful, it was beautiful. With you, the samba gets carried away!“A leg work was noted by the judges, who sent the candidate to the second round, giving her nice marks.
The notes :
Jean-Paul Gaultier: 9/10
Denitsa Ikonomova: 7/10
François Alu: 7/10
Chris Marques: 8/10
Total: 31 points
Bilal Hassani and Jordan Mouillerac
Criticized, last week, for a concern of roundness of the hips, Bilal Hassani blown away the assembly. On the title Kid, by Eddy de Pretto, the young artist evoked this need to feel accepted, to denounce the toxic masculinity that we have long tried to impose on him. This is why he chose to dance without artifice or wig … his famous armor which transforms him into Bilal Hassani. “What is important is not to win but to mark the spirits. And this performance will mark season 11 of Dance with the stars, assured Denitsa Ikonomova. Artistically it was amazing. You made me feel all your emotions. I wanted to come and give you a hug. It was a magical moment. “

Jean-Paul Gaultier: 10/10
Denitsa Ikonomova: 10/10
François Alu: 8/10
Chris Marques: 9/10
Total: 37 points
SECOND ROUND OF QUARTER-FINALS
Tayc and Fauve Hautot
A moment of softness, modernity in this course filled with pep. Tayc had to calm the Fauve, tame him, to offer, with his partner, a waltz on Next To Me of the Imagine Dragons group. “We were on a little cloud, noted François Alu. It was evanescent, very light. He was a new Tayc. But there are little things that can be improved. “No privilege for this second round of the show, although Jean-Paul Gaultier and Chris Marques gave a very nice note, unanimously, to the duo of dancers … which was moreover qualified for the following week!
The notes :
Jean-Paul Gaultier: 9/10
Denitsa Ikonomova: 8/10
François Alu: 8/10
Chris Marques: 9/10
Total: 34 points
Dita Von Teese and Christophe Licata
Second western-like performance for Dita Von Teese, with hat and lashes to support, who was entitled to the help of Céline, Christophe Licata’s big sister, in order to memorize the very complex choreography of her jive. And what better homage to the Licata family than the choice of song I’ll go wherever you will go, by Celine Dion? “It was a great performance, congratulated Chris Marques. But it is true that at this precise moment, I cannot accept trampling, or that one gets lost in the choreography. The other couples do not give you any gifts. It’s a great dance, it’s just that the level is very, very, very high.“
The notes :
Jean-Paul Gaultier: 10/10
Denitsa Ikonomova: 8/10
François Alu: 7/10
Chris Marques: 7/10
Total: 32 points
Bilal Hassani and Jordan Mouillerac
He regained his long red wig in an attempt to qualify for the semi-finals. In order to avenge the last bounties, during which he received many negative comments, Bilal Hassani launched into a paso doble on the 2WEI feat. Jon & Bri Bryant from Hit the road Jack, with a formidable will, a rage in the eyes. “Tonight is your night, honestly, congratulated Denitsa Ikonomova. Well done, it’s amazing. There was the power, the movements. It was really, so good. So technical, so complex to execute. It’s just amazing.“A firestorm that earned him his place in the semi-finals.
The notes :
Jean-Paul Gaultier: 10/10
Denitsa Ikonomova: 9/10
François Alu: 9/10
Chris Marques: 9/10
Total: 37 points
FACE TO FACE AND ELIMINATION
Dita Von Teese and Christophe Licata, who lost the second round, joined Michou and Elsa Bois as well as Aurélie Pons and Adrien Caby in the final head-to-head test, on Maneskin’s version of the title Beggin ‘. The viewers, alone, decided between these three pairs. Michou and Aurélie Pons were saved by the votes of the public. Dita Von Teese is therefore eliminated from the competition … but will return to the Folies Bergère from February 2022. With Christophe Licata, perhaps?
