French swimmer Florent Manaudou has advanced to the Final 6 on the French competition dance show Danse avec les stars, and has emerged as one of the favorites to take the title.
The show, currently in its 14th season in France, is the French edition of the hit show Dancing with the Stars/Strictly Come Dancing franchise.
Paired with professional dancer Elsa Bois, Manaudou had the second-highest score in week 8 of the show with 35 points behind only soccer player Adil Rami. Singer/songwriter Julie Zenatti, singer/songwriter Jungeli, singer/songwriter Lenie, and actress Mayane are the other celebrities who remain in the competition.
In their most recent dance, which earned them three 9s and an 8 from the judges (out of a possible 10), Manaudou and Bois performed a samba dance to the song Je danse le mia by French hiphop group IAM.
That was a big bounce back performance after they were tied for the lowest score in week 7. There, the three lowest-performing teams had to dance head-to-head to the same song, with the top two advancing. That dance was also a samba,
