Christophe Licata was invited, this Friday, January 24, to the set of It starts today. He spoke about a difficult period in his life when he lost his grandmother and had to support his loved ones affected by the illness. Confidences rich in emotion.
The competition is getting ready. On February 7, the most famous dance floor in France will reopen its doors to the delight of viewers.

The production wishes to forget this unfortunate episode with a brand new casting. Lénie, Sophie Davant, Florent Manaudou and Franck Leboeuf will step out of their comfort zone to prove that they also know about ballroom dancing. If fans of the program get used to the absence of Maxime Dereymez, due to the abandonment of his partner, Christophe Licata will be back. However, the last few years have been difficult for the dancer and he was even forced to take a significant leave of absence during season 12.
