PROJECT DANCE PARIS 2024
July 19 - 21
Project Dance Paris is an international and intercultural event of dancers and gospel music that wants to bring out the beauty of Paris by honoring its culture. The attacks in January and November 2015 have shaken Paris and the whole nation of France. This vision of hope through dance was a highlight. We believe that love and beauty, manifested through art executed with integrity, are powerful tools to heal hearts and give hope. Thus, Project Dance Paris wants to move the beating heart of the capital of love to bring her healing and joy.
The purpose of the event is to offer a unique opportunity in France to all artists who want to be inspired and to contribute their talent to bring forth life in the heart of Paris.
OUR PROGRAM
Mix of sharing, connections and artistic explosion
FRIDAY
WELCOME / REGISTRATIONS
An official table will be set up to receive the participants. They will meet the staff and finalize the steps of the weekend including registration for the dance master classes Sunday. They can also check the location of their appearance on stage and give notes, comments regarding their music. Each participant will receive a goody bag and a t-shirt of the event.
GROUP DANCE
Project Dance creates one dance per year which is taught at each event. All dancers will learn this dance which they will perform throughout the Outdoor Concert. It's a unique opportunity for everyone to share the same dance floor at the same time.
NETWORKING
The dancers mingle, come into contact with renowned choreographers, studio directors, professionals and can consider opportunities for joint projects in the future. Establishing a community, facilitating a network of artists, is the cornerstone of Project Dance's commitment to seeing dancers seize their next opportunities in this ever-changing dance environment.
PROJECT DANCE LIVE
The launch of each dance project is followed by a Project Dance Live. A unique evening of celebration! Professional companies perform their latest works, famous artists are interviewed and all dancers are enriched by the answers and advice of those who are making a career on stage.
SATURDAY
OPEN AIR SHOW
The centerpiece of every Project Dance event is the Outdoor Concert. Historically, we bring artists out of studios and theaters into the streets, making dance and gospel music accessible to everyone. We want to use this concert to release beauty, hope and joy in hearts through the universal language of dance. Jazz, modern, classical dance, tap dancing, hip-hop... Every style is welcomed. What unites artists during Project Dance is the desire to evolve with integrity to inspire. Art has a way of reaching the depth of our being and the pieces presented on stage reflect this understanding.
CELEBRATION
This celebration time is one of the favorite activity of Project Dance. It is a time of recognition and sharing of the experiences and testimonies of the day. The participants sing and dance together and rejoice of the day they have just spent. It is also a time where artists ca associate their faith with their art.
SUNDAY
MORNING INSPIRATION (Optional)
What better way to start the day on Sunday! This gathering, which is not compulsory, will consist of a key message from one of the project dance leaders, songs and encouraging stories for our inspiration. The objective of this time is to spend a moment together and to see more in depth our mission as an artist and as a people of faith.
DANCE MASTER CLASSES
Training is the discipline specific to each dancer. Project Dance values and supports training that allows each dancer to expand, flourish and grow their talent from their level. We are always excited to welcome teachers and dance professionals with a variety of styles. Project Dance is committed to providing top classes for participating dancers with a faculty that conveys respect, encouragement and love of dance.
