This summer, the Grand Palais invites you to move. Forget about exhibitions and social events with a glass of champagne in hand: it\u2019s time for something more vibrant, more embodied. From June 13 to July 18, the nave of the Grand Palais gives free rein to invited artists to orchestrate XXL dance classes, free and open to all. A summer interlude that promises to make Paris vibrate and an excellent excuse to slip into your finest Ballet-core outfits and join the dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dance Classes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This summer, we\u2019re going to sweat under the Grand Palais.<\/strong> With the exhibition days behind us, Saturday mornings will see the glass-roofed nave of the Grand Palais in Paris transform into a huge classroom, where free workshops led by prestigious guests and artists will be offered. The XXL dance workshops \u201cGrand Mouvement\u201d invite the public, both amateurs and novices, to discover dance, explore body movement, and get acquainted with the art of choreography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re hesitating to dive in because you don\u2019t really know how to dance, forget your apprehensions right away: these classes are open to everyone, with no prerequisites. Here, there\u2019s no performance to achieve, but an experience to live, where you come to feel, experiment, and share. In this spectacular setting, dance becomes a festive moment, where we can all be carried away by the energy of the group and the artist. A beautiful way to (re)discover your body, move differently, and bring culture into your summer, all in complete freedom.

In just a few sessions, the way you perceive yourself evolves, confidence sets in, and sometimes, a true passion emerges almost unexpectedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dancing in public, together, also creates a bond. <strong>We share an energy, a moment, an emotion.<\/strong> So this summer, let\u2019s dare to go out, let go, and express ourselves, simply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Featured image: \u00a9Daria Rom\/unsplash<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dance is life!
