Flamenco, hip-hop, modern: it’s dance on show in Midi-Pyrénées!

With three major dance festivals in less than two months, Midi-Pyrénées invites you to join the dance. Flamenco, hip-hop, modern: a variety of styles in a display of breathtaking shows. You won’t believe your eyes!

“C’est de la Danse Contemporaine” modern dance festival (until 12/02/10 in Toulouse and in Midi-Pyrénées)

For the 6th year running, the modern dance festival “C’est de la Danse Contemporaine” helps you discover the creative dance routines of today.  Robyn Orlin (South Africa), Saburo Teshigawara (Japan), Lemi Ponifasio (New Zealand)… This year, the festival reaches further afield as artists from around the world share the bill at the 2010 edition; a number of shows will also feature new local talent, starting with Samuel Mathieu and his Généric-X project.  Amazing.

“Hip-Hop Ways” Festival (2nd March – 15th April 2010 in Toulouse and in Midi-Pyrénées)

At the Hip Hop Ways Festival, prepare to see professional hip-hop dancers strutting their stuff in the most unexpected places.  After watching the Fang LAO company in the centre of the Place du Capitole, you can go on to admire the Possue Crew troupe at the Jacobin cloisters in Toulouse… And there’s more!  Alongside the professional dancers, amateur artists will present their own routines, inspired by the Junta of the Philippines painting by Goya and the theme of this year’s festival (“School of merit”).  Let’s get moving!
