Le Défilé

The Défilé — "Recycled Dances"

Sunday, September 7

From 2:30 PM, Rue de la République Terreaux → Bellecour

For a very long time, dances have been omnipresent in our ever-evolving societies, permeating our daily lives, cultures, and shared spaces. In gyms where dance classes abound; on the forecourts of theaters and museums where hip-hop and breaking crews take center stage; in clubs and ballrooms where communities find in dance a powerful means of expression and empowerment; in local capoeira associations or neighborhood samba classes; in village squares where traditional and folk dances are celebrated; in ballrooms and public spaces in cities where ballroom dances continue to bring people together, with Latin dances leading the way—group and social dances are everywhere, drawn to connection, celebration, and sharing. They captivate and can possess a contagious energy. They reveal the great richness of cultures, eras, and forms of expression. Popular by nature, they can reach everyone.

• 8 participating groups from the Lyon metropolitan area and the Auvergne–Rhône-Alpes region
• 3,000 participants aged 10 to 80
• A closing group under the artistic direction of Brazilian choreographer Diego Dantas, for a grand celebration of our reinvented social dances
• An exceptional finale at Place Bellecour: 360, an excerpt from Mehdi Kerkouche’s show, accompanied by his 8 dancers and a group of amateurs
