On Saturday, I drove my daughter to a dance show where she was taking part and what started as a taxi chore to a faraway suburb (very different from Monet‘s days!) ended up as a very pleasant evening. The show at the Théatre du Grenier was indeed a very good mix of professional companies and of younger dancers (with enough practice and skills to convey a clear picture despite some imperfections) and of diverse types of dances. While a hip-hop company gave a very impressive display of cohesion and graceful strength, the most powerful message was delivered by a company from Clermont-Ferrand called In Ninstan, though a minimalist but intense display by the three dancers.
