Then we dance. This is what the tireless Mehdi Kerkouche does. After having accumulated millions of views thanks to his videos edited with his company in confinement, the choreographer organizes a dance marathon on social networks. And the poster is a dream: afro-jazz, hip-hop, classic with the dancers of the Paris Opera Ballet, including Fauve Hautot and Chris Marques star of "Dance with the stars"; Marion Motin, choreographer for Christine and The Queens and Stromae; Kamel Ouali, revealed by "Star Academy" or the dancers of Crazy Horse ... All day long, from 9.45 am, 30-minute lessons, performances and debates will be linked non-stop.

Culture must continue to exist
"Since the start of confinement, I have been looking for a way to stay active and creative by hosting a live dance class on Instagram every Wednesday evening to raise funds to help caregivers, the sick and research, explains Mehdi Kerkouche who works in particular on the election of Miss France and the Victoires de la Musique. So I had the idea of creating an online dance marathon and involving the Fondation des Hôpitaux de Paris - Hôpitaux de France. A kitty will therefore be put online in order to collect donations all day long ”
And to conclude: “Today, no one is able to imagine how, when or with what means our professions will be able to recover from this crisis, but it is certain that culture must continue to exist. This is why we are going to dance at your place! With you ! "
