Star Academy 2026: New contestants begin training and dance evaluations

The 2026 season of Star Academy has commenced at the Dammarie-les-Lys castle, introducing 17 new candidates aged 18 to 26. The contestants are undergoing intensive training in singing, dancing, theater, and stage presence.

During a dance session led by instructor Jonathan Jenvrin, the students practiced choreography for the song ‘Dans un autre monde’ by Céline Dion. Jenvrin evaluated the students, categorizing them into four groups ranging from A to D based on their performance and commitment. Isabella, a 20-year-old contestant from Ris-Orangis who previously appeared on The Voice Kids, was placed in Group B and noted as being immune for the week.

Prior to entering the academy, Isabella performed a showcase at the BAM Club, an event attended by Jordan De Luxe.
