What if dancing to contemporary music were possible?
The image of contemporary music, often seen as serious, complex, and sometimes impenetrable, will be radically transformed here. Because we can bet that bodies will move to the rhythm of this blank canvas left to the composers.
From tango to samba, passing through waltzes, ballroom or urban dances will be as many islands of an innovative sound archipelago.
The contemporary ball! A unique and festive event, full of discoveries and surprises. An introduction to dance steps and simple choreographies will be provided before the ball by a choreographer and 2 professional dancers.
A section of waltzes from the great repertoire (Strauss, Schubert) could open the ball.
