1st "F(ê)aites de la danse" Dance Festival in Monaco

Monaco is to celebrate dance with a night for the public entirely devoted to this art form.

The "F(ê)aites de la danse" dance festival arose from the shared wish of the Ballets de Monte-Carlo, the Prince's Government and the Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer to create a large-scale dance event that would be open to all.

On Saturday 1 July, for the "F(ê)aites de la danse" festival, the Place du Casino will be transformed into a giant dance floor, where professionals and amateurs will mingle to the rhythm of a wide variety of music.

"F(ê)aites de la danse" will begin at 6 p.m. with a giant dance barre in the Place du Casino, where the public will be able to warm up with the male and female dancers of the Ballets de Monte-Carlo.

Almost forty events will then take place continuously until 6 a.m.

Shows, outdoor activities, introductory world dance workshops, street artists, Hip-Hop battles, pole dancing, a nightclub at the Opera, a giant dance floor and bals musettes (traditional open-air public dance events).  More than 250 professional and amateur artists will have the sole mission of making the public dance until dawn.

For the most enthusiastic, a Dance Marathon will take place between 6 p.m. and midnight.  The 30 couples taking part (who need to register) will have to dance the Tango, African dance, salsa, the waltz, jazz and rock/swing.

At midnight, the Ballets de Monte-Carlo will present a work by Jean-Christophe with music by Antonio Castrignano, who will also give a concert that evening.

At the end of the show, the dancers will create a "flash mob" by inviting the entire audience to join them.

The night will continue with a huge open-air dance floor, and then in the Monte Carlo Opera, which will be transformed into a nightclub with DJ Greg Boust.  Outside, there will be a silent discotheque - 1,000 headphones will be made available - enabling the most seasoned fans to dance until dawn.

F(ê)aites de la danse 2017: a hit with the public in Monaco!

The first F(ê)aites de la Danse festival was a huge success.

The first F(ê)aites de la Danse festival, organised by the Ballets de Monte-Carlo, the Prince’s Government and Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer, and held in Place du Casino on 1 July 2017, was a huge success.

Nearly 10,000 people were there at the peak of the event around midnight, enjoying a festive atmosphere in Place du Casino, watching the performances and sharing a love of dance.

Ballets de Monte-Carlo Choreographer and Director Jean-Christophe Maillot’s gamble – creating an event where professional and amateur dancers could meet the public and get them up dancing – paid off.

A giant barre, dances from around the world, ballroom dances, jazz, street dance, tango, hip-hop, roller skating by Le Patin Libre, pole dancing and more all featured, one after the other, before giving way to the Ballets de Monte-Carlo, who performed a Jean-Christophe Maillot creation set to music by Italian composer Antonio Castrignano. On the terraces, the dance marathon was in full swing while down below, a dance hall with food trucks entertained audiences with songs from the 1950s.

After midnight, Place du Casino became an enormous open-air disco with DJ Greg Boust on the decks. From 2 am, the French DJ took over the Monte-Carlo Opera, which was transformed into a night club for the evening, while outside the public also danced to his music at the silent disco held on the Casino terraces.

It was a great night full of fun and friendship. See you again for the next one!
