This summer, Bal Moderne is going to make you dance
02 Jun 2012 - 13 Sep 2012
How it works
The Bal Moderne's success and the great demand for its return to Brussels confirms that it provides a much needed opportunity for people to mingle and move together without being judged or feeling self-conscious. The choreographers who teach the dances are especially skilled at conveying self-confidence. Whatever an individual member of the public's ability, he or she will experience the satisfaction of achieving something new. Often it is those who imagined themselves to have two left feet that are the most surprised by their own talent. Plus, the Bal provides perfect circumstances for people to mix and socialize in a very uncomplicated, natural way... frequently soul sisters and brothers have been sought and found at the Bal Moderne!
An artistic project for everyone
The Bal Moderne remains, however, an artistic project. Professional choreographers create the dances and although they are simple, their strength and originality maintain a level of artistic quality throughout the Bal ensuring that, although a popular project it never becomes patronizing. The Bal has, beyond any doubt, affected attitudes towards contemporary dance. The direct contact that the public establishes with artists has helped demystified the art form. New audiences have felt encouraged, first to see the work of the artists that participate in the Bal, and then to extend their theatre going to other performances.
