« I wanna dance with somebody » isn’t something we said, but our dear Whitney Houston! And guess what? On Saturday, May 23rd, it’s going to be a dance-filled day in Pantin. For the fifth consecutive year, the event “1 km of dance” is making its big comeback along the Ourcq canal. It’s the perfect chance to get swept away in the dance with family, friends, or even solo (don’t worry, you’ll definitely find someone to dance with!).
Breathtaking performances along the canal
From 2 PM to midnight, Pantin will be alive to the beat of music and movements from its professional and amateur dancers. During this one-of-a-kind event, hosted by the National Dance Center, absolutely all styles will be celebrated. Modern jazz, zumba, hip-hop, afro dance, classical, and contemporary—there’s something for everyone!
Troupes, associations, and local conservatories are coming together to get you dancing and fill your eyes with stars through divine performances.See this post on Instagram
« The city in celebration and frenzy »
So, where will this joyful dancing parade take place? Everywhere (or almost) because, as its name suggests, the event spans nearly a kilometer in Pantin, along the Ourcq canal. From the North terrace of the CND to the Pointe squarePassing through the garden of March 19, 1962 and the theater of the Water Thread, you'll be treated to XXL warm-ups, live performances and of course, a giant dance floor to let loose in a big way. The little extra? At the end of the day, after having let off steam and sweating like crazy, we’ll make way for the party with dance battles of all styles, along with DJ sets and performances from the Contre-Club collective.
