Travel Tip: Dance in France
La Biennale de la danse 2006

Forty international companies in some thirty different settings is inevitably a spectacular event, and ample opportunity is given to discover such personalities as Benjamin Millepied or Nasser Martin-Gousset.

This year's theme at the Biennale de la Danse de Lyon is "The City" and features among many others the Spanish Compania Nacional de Danza from Madrid, Rachid Ouramdane's Superstars for the Ballet de l'Opéra de Lyon,  Kate Champion's Force Majeure from Australia, Michael Flatley's celtic Lord of the dance, and the Pockemon Crew, France's foremost hip-hop dance team that clearly shows the vitality of this dance form in Europe.
