Presentation of the Maison de la Danse
Since 1980, the Maison de la Danse has followed the same artistic policy. Its missions: providing a platform for all forms of dance and dance techniques, inviting major 20th-century choreographers and young contemporary creators, combining creation and repertoire, and developing interest among children and teenagers (tomorrow’s audiences) by organising young people’s matinée performances.
