Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. In 2021, he participated in the eleventh season of Danse avec les stars – the French version of Dancing with the Stars. He was partnered with professional dancer Fauve Hautot. On November 26, 2021, they won the competition with 56% of the voting over Bilal Hassani & his partner Jordan Mouillerac.
In week 1 & 2, half of the couples compete first week, the other half in the second week. Additionally, each judge had a golden buzzer; if the 4 judges pushed their buzzer, the couple was directly qualified for week 3 without receiving a single note.
In week 7, each couple receive a note from the public.
In semi-final, they finished first in the first round and so, got directly qualified for the final without doing their 2nd routine.
In final, judge notes only the first round. For 2nd & 3rd round, judge just chose the routine they preferred between the 2 finalists. (In the 2nd round, every judge preferred Tayc & Fauve routine. In the 3rd round, only François Alu preferred Tayc & Fauve routine).
