The Da Squad troupe, from Lyon, presented in
La France a un incredible talent
an overwhelming choreography inspired by a drama experienced by one of the dancers.
Faced with their number, the jury ended up in tears.
"I cut half of my reactions to the editing I was so much a fountain," Helene Ségara told reporters during the presentation of this season.
The Da Squad troupe was not entitled to the golden buzzers because their passage on stage actually took place at the very end of the filming of the auditions, after all the precious sesame had been awarded.
A great moment of emotion.
In the first episode of the new season of
France has an incredible talent
broadcast Wednesday on M6, the Da Squad moved the public and the jury to tears.
As a preamble, Alann, one of the twenty-four dancers of the Lyon troupe, recounted the tragedy he experienced in January 2019.
“I had a car accident,” he said.
I lost my friend who was dancing with us in the group, I also lost my girlfriend and I lost my eyesight as well.
The young man then explained that he had been in a coma and had to undergo several operations.
In the face of adversity, he overcame obstacles and resumed dancing.
The participation of Da Squad in the show was highly symbolic: "Stan, who left us, it was his dream to come there", slipped Juliane, the founder of the troop.
"I had half of my reactions cut off during the editing"
The jury, upset by the choreography, was in tears.
“I cut off half of my reactions to the editing because I was such a fountain,” Hélène Ségara told reporters during the presentation of this season.
There are things that are pruned during editing because we do not want to fall into pathos.

"I say a big thank you for reminding you that we can surpass everything", reacted the singer in front of the troop after having greeted "the energy" and the "great mind" of Alann.
Sugar Samy stood up and applauded what he called a "lesson in life."
"For me, it's not good, it's beyond that: it's a jewel that you have offered us", said Eric Antoine for his part.
"Very helpless"
Why, faced with such enthusiasm, the Da Squad were not entitled to a golden buzzer synonymous with direct qualification for the final?
Hélène Ségara revealed the reason at a press conference: “It was one of the last numbers of the hearings.
We had already given all our golden buzzers, ”she explained, adding that she and her colleagues on the jury were“ very disarmed ”not to have been able to assign one to the troop.
In other words, the performance of Da Squads was shown in the first episode but their appearance on stage took place on the last day of the auditions.
The shooting took place over four days, at the end of August: the jurors were dressed in the same way each time so that the order of the numbers could be mixed during the editing of the episodes.
