Le classique c’est chic is a project hub which comes to light with the aim of decolonialising the ideas that regard academic classical dance and classical ballet, with the desire to give tools of understanding and re-appropriation of one’s body to the greatest number of people.

What happens if we take away the whiteness, the bars, the bows, the mirrors, the points, the wood, the repertory and the forced smiles from classical dance? What happens if we transfer it into city spaces? If we make it an instrument for all the possible bodies? The idea is to move in the urban landscape keeping the structure of a typical classical dance lesson, bar in the centre, but happening amidst the decor and the spaces of the city. We will try to re-think the city itself as an enormous space to be crossed in diagonals and manège. No bars but low walls. No points but comfortable shoes. The classical technique as an instrument for understanding the body, available to everyone male and female, released from exclusive criteria.
