Initially scheduled for June 2025, this long-awaited NEC dance evening is finally coming! This project pays tribute to the dances of the 1920s to 1950s: tango, waltz, ragtime, foxtrot, boogie-woogie, mambo, rumba or cha-cha-cha.

By highlighting the peculiarities of each dance with creativity, Oscar Strasnoy and Samuel Blaser instill a touch of fantasy and humour in their works, while leaving ample room for improvisation. In addition to the trombonist chaux-de-fonnier and the Franco-Argentine composer, guitarist Marc Ducret and DJ Mathieu Ogier will accompany the NEC for this unique occasion.
