One hour to have fun in the midst of a health crisis!
After popularizing the Sing Along (cinema sessions combining musicals, costumes, entertainment and karaoke) in France, L'Ecran Pop is launching its Dance Party this Friday, virtual dance lessons of a new kind.
"The basic idea is to learn the choreographies of cult musicals with the artists who have been applauded on the stages of these musicals", summarizes at
20 Minutes
Natacha Campana, the founder of L'Ecran Pop.
While the health crisis suddenly halted the growth of the Pop Screen in March 2020, Natacha Campana took the opportunity to "think of new projects".
As lockdowns and other curfews follow, "the only option was to do something online."
"We wanted to keep the link with our audience"
“Last summer, we tested the concept of Dance Party over two or three sessions.
We wanted to keep the link with our audience and experience these emotions that we love so much around the musical.
We felt that there was an interest, that it was worth going further, ”she says.
Each session lasts one hour and costs 12 euros.
Musical comedy aficionados can also opt for a formula of 5 sessions at 48 euros.
"In the end, we are supposed to master it well!"
"
Participants connect via a link received approximately twenty minutes before the session. “The artist welcomes them, we start with a very playful warm-up in the DNA of the Pop Screen with quizzes to talk about the musical where we respond by dancing. It's very funny! Then, we move on to learning a passage of the choreography. In the end, we are supposed to master it well! », Relates Natacha Campana.

"These artists know the real choreography, the work and the show inside out and have plenty of anecdotes to tell", promises Natacha Campana.
Each session ends with a question and answer session with the artists.
"In the studio when we can get together again"
These Dance Parties will continue “in the studio also when we can get together again.
But even when we are out of the crisis, these online sessions will continue, ”announces the boss of L'Ecran Pop.
And to explain: “The online formula makes it possible to reach the whole of France.
Going to the studio with people who might already dance a bit well can be intimidating.
Online, you are at home, and if you don't want to be seen, just turn off your camera.

Fifteen sessions until June 28 are already open for booking, it's time to bring out the Sandy Olsen or Johnny Castle that lies dormant in you!
