dance at university
A flagship event on the Dijon campus, the festival returns in 2022. 9 days to test, see, experience dance in all its forms: photo exhibition, dance classes, workshops, participatory balls but also shows! Intended for everyone, whether amateur or professional, dancer for a day or an hour, curious or simple observer… A highlight that has brought together high school students, students and staff from the University of Burgundy since 2004. This festival brings together two essential services for student life: Culture, with the atheneum, and Sport, represented by the Suaps of Dijon.
Indoor Stage / Outdoor Stage
New this year, the festival moves to the Esplanade Erasme on March 29, 30 and 31. An outdoor stage, accompanied by a giant screen, will be installed and will allow total immersion in the world of dance. On the program: relocation of dance lessons given by Suaps Dijon, student performances, participatory balls and contemporary dance workshops… Dance at the university continues indoors, meet us at the atheneum for the other appointments you from the festival!
Two associated artists
The time of the festival is also an opportunity to create a link between amateurs and professionals. With Le 300 Bal, Marine Colard – sponsor of this edition – revisits the ball and invites the public to learn a swaying and joyful choreography in the open air, created especially for the 300th anniversary of the university. The artist will also be present to accompany the hundred student-dancers who will take the stage for their show Créations dansées.
The choreographer Antoine Arbeit, companion artist of the cultural season, presents The River, a duet where the dancers are connected by a cable which allows them to move unbalanced. The public is invited to test the scenic device of this show, throughout the day.
