The exhibition
Trailer of the exhibition Dance (0'30)
Dance invites children from 4 years old and their companions of all ages to participate sometimes actively, other times just watching.
Turn, jump, walk and come together. These four verbs define the exhibition by allowing you to go through different styles, techniques and cultures. They are both essential dancing movements and familiar to all children.
The visit is both dynamic and contemplative, though unique dancing devises created by choreographers, videos and didactic experiences. Every 30 minutes, young and old are invited to join the collective dance and get to know three different dances and travel through different periods.

Join the round! Urban dances, African dances and duo rounds. Virtual dancers follow your movements inside three successive circles. Then enter the kinesphere, a geometric devise that symbolizes your personal dance space. Here, guided by the voice of a choreographer, you move your body in all directions until you spin.

Now jump! (Re) bounce, jump high, jump far, on one foot or two… There are several types of jumps. Explore them in practice thanks to the progressive learning of a choreography in The great jump, a rhythmic walk to do in pairs. Also, admire the breakdown of your own jump.

Weight transfer, balance, imbalance, on one foot, walking is all that! Walking is also interacting with the ground, as highlighted by the digital artwork Spacial Anamorphose. Covered with a reactive mesh, the floor comes to life under the children’s steps, who enjoy creating different types of undulations depending on how they move.

To the Dancing Carousel! Every half hour, both young and old are invited to gather and take a part in a choreographed dance. From the Renaissance Branle to 70s disco, stopping by the musette waltz, it’s a festive, collective and friendly journey through time that visitors of all ages can experience.

Take a break. Having put your body in motion and on display, the Foyer offers a return to calm and a place for introspection. It’s time to relax and reflect on the experience we just had. The youngest can express themselves by drawing. The grownups can continue to think about dance by consulting referenced books.
