This weekend and for the second edition of "F(ê)aites de la Danse", the Casino district and surrounding area will be transformed into a giant open-air dance floor. The famous Ballets de Monte-Carlo, accompanied by around a hundred artists from all over the world, will have just one mission: to get you dancing! Experience 24 hours of shows, parades, open-air performances, workshops, and plenty of other surprises.
Cet événement populaire se tiendra en plein coeur du Carré d'Or sur la place et les terrasses du Casino, plusieurs milliers de personnes sont attendues. Le coup d’envoi est prévu à 12h avec un "marathon de la danse" et sera suivi entre autre par une barre géante avec Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo qui seront à vos côtés pendant toute la durée de cet événement unique au monde ! La mythique piste de danse à ciel ouvert de Monaco est de retour !
"... there was always something I couldn't abolish, and that was the frontier between the artist giving and the spectator receiving. I secretly hoped one day to see them dancing together. And now it's happening, with "F(ê)aites de la Danse !"
