This summer, the Grand Palais invites you to move. Forget about exhibitions and social events with a glass of champagne in hand: it&#8217;s time for something more vibrant, more embodied. From June 13 to July 18, the nave of the Grand Palais gives a blank slate to invited artists to orchestrate <strong>XXL dance classes<\/strong>, 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 hit the dance floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dance Classes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This summer, we&#8217;re going to sweat under the Grand Palais.<\/strong> With the time for exhibitions over, Saturday mornings, the glass roofs of the nave at the Grand Palais in Paris transform into a massive classroom, where free workshops are offered, led by prestigious guests and artists. The <strong>XXL dance workshops &#8220;Grand Mouvement&#8221;<\/strong> invite the public, both enthusiasts and beginners, to discover dance, explore body movement, and get introduced to the art of choreography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re hesitant to join because you don&#8217;t really know how to dance, forget your apprehensions right away: these classes are open to everyone, with no prerequisites. Here, there&#8217;s 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 incorporate culture into your summer, all in complete freedom.

In just a few sessions, the way you see yourself evolves, confidence builds, and sometimes, a true passion is born almost unexpectedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dancing in public, together, also creates connection. <strong>We share energy, a moment, an emotion.<\/strong> So this summer, let&#8217;s dare to go out, let go, and express ourselves, simply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Image credit: \u00a9Daria Rom\/unsplash<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dance is life!
