Thousands of revellers danced the night away on the open-air dance floor at Casino Square Saturday night for the first edition of F(ê)aites de la Danse.

The concept from Jean-Christophe Maillot, Choreographer-Director of the Ballets de Monte-Carlo, offered a Dance Marathon, giant dance bar, various shows, lounge dances, retro-dancing, world-famous dances, Hip-Hop, Yamakasi and much more.

Public participation was at the heart of the event co-organised by the Monte Carlo Ballets, the government and the SBM.

As Jean-Christophe Maillot explained: “For this exceptional event, the artist-public relationship has been completely reversed: the dancers will not dance for the public, they’ll make the public dance.”
