Danses de société - Bal au Centre... Balez donc

Recorded at the CND 17 December 2011

With her “Dance Floor” first, Charlotte Rousseau, the videographer, begins by immersing the spectators in the Atrium of the National Centre for Dance with different sequences of dance from popular musical films.

Then through the sound of “Las Ondas Marteles” (Sarah Murcia, Seb and Nicolas Martel) Thomas Lebrun et Christine Corday inaugurate a ball for you like nothing you’ve ever seen before! Accompanied by Claudia Miazzo, Jean-Paul Padovani, Olga Plaza, Christian Ubl and Vanessa Marques Martinez, they embark you on a “conferdance” following the traces of popular dances from yesteryear and from today, waltzing through an accordion style to a jerk, from a tango to a swing, from ballroom dances to the java, and, of course the Madison. Demonstration and initiations included!

And, last but not least, the Las Ondas Marteles Group and DJ Moulinex give the floor to voices, guitars, double bass and records, enthralling the public with a fever-pitched Rock-a-Billy Ball.
