TV MAGAZINE. – How was the filming of “The Secret Song”?

Denitsa IKONOMOVA. – It was a big surprise! I was not at all aware that I was going to do this show. I was in Canada and my agent told me:You really need to come back, we have something brewing, I need you for contracts“. They surprised me the very day of my return.

What did you think once on set?

When I saw that we were approaching the musical Seine (where the show is filmed, NDR), I understood. In fact, I was very excited because I always dreamed of doing this show. I was anxious too, I didn’t know how I was going to react, whether I was going to cry or not. It really is an amazing show. They succeeded in surprising me and above all in making me happy.

This season, you went from dancer to juror in “Dancing with the stars”, you won season 3 of “Mask Singer”, and today you are invited to TF1 entertainment: how do you live with this growing popularity? ?

It makes me so happy to know that people appreciate what I do. On each show, it is the viewers who take me very far. There is no better recognition for an artist than seeing the audience behind them.

What did you think of your first season as a juror in “DALS”?

I loved. It was a little stressful at first because I spent nine years as a dancer and I know what dancers and celebrities go through. So I thought to myself:I hope that I will be able to give the advice that will help them to be able to move forward as far as possible.“. It was great fun being on the other side, watching the show, cheering on your friends.

Are you surprised by your journey on this show?

Still! My whole life surprises me. I never expected to leave Bulgaria for Canada, then go to France, do “DALS”, win so many times, be part of the jury. Everything that happens to me, I take it, I appreciate it and I savor it every day.

Will you be a juror again next season in “DALS”?

I can’t tell you anything, you have to wait for the start of the school year.

What is your news?

We’ve just finished our tour with the D’pendanse troupe and we’re starting again in 2023 with a new show we’re going to create. Otherwise, I did all the choreography and some artistic direction for the dances of rumba life, a comedy that will be released at the end of August. I trained Franck Dubosc, who is also directing this film, and Louna Espinosa for three months before shooting and I was present when the dance scenes were put on.

Is Franck Dubosc a good student?

Very! I loved working with him. As a director, screenwriter, and actor, he had so many things to prepare ahead of time. However, he always took the time to take his dance lessons, to follow my advice, and to be focused. He was great!

Would you like to try yourself at the cinema?

If the opportunity arises and I feel comfortable enough, why not.
