Between 2021 and 2022, François Alu participated in seasons 11 and 12 of
Dance with the stars
. The Paris Opera dancer was, however, not returned to the cast of season 13 currently broadcast, and was replaced by Quebec choreographer Mel Charlot. A disillusionment for the dancer, who hoped to return for a third season, despite some dissensions which often opposed him to Chris Marques, the maestro of the band, who has been present in the latter since the very first season. Chris Marques also had the joy of finding Jean-Marc Généreux, back after two years of absence, and Fauve Hautot… but Denitsa Ikonomova was still missing.
Judge during season 11, Denitsa Ikonomova made history Dance with the starswinning the trophy four times : in season 5 with Rayane Bensetti, in season 6 with Loïc Nottet, in season 7 with Laurent Maistret and in season 9 with Clément Rémiens. She is tied with Fauve Hautot, who has also won the competition four times (along with Emmanuel Moire, Sami El Gueddari, Tayc and Billy Crawford). But by agreeing to become the host of a tattoo competition on RMC Story, Denitsa sealed her fate at Dance with the starsand the production did not call her back for season 13… An eviction that she may eventually regretbut which is not a surprise given the exclusivity that producers generally expect from their foals.
By meeting on the set of season 11, François Alu and Denitsa Ikonomova
quickly became accomplices. Three years after their meeting, the two dancers continue to hang out as evidenced by the last story that the young woman published and in which she praises her friend. Indeed, Denitsa wanted to congratulate François Alu, who is preparing to end the tour of a show called Completely thrown away. A few dates remain to be honored, before the end of this great show that he has been offering for several months in France. “An adventure that is coming to an end. Bravo François!”applauded Denitsa Ikonomova on her Instagram account.
In a relationship with ? They never confirmed it
For several months, rumors have been rife concerning a possible romantic adventure which would link François Alu to Denitsa Ikonomova. Although they never claimed to be a couple, the first nevertheless revealed in an interview that they shared the life of a “dancer” ; information which had not gone unnoticed, and which had greatly fueled the rumors. Last June, the two friends appeared more complicit than ever in the stands of Roland-Garros, thus proving that they spend a lot of time together. without being able to say that they are indeed in love.
