Welcome to the 4th Grand Prix International de Danse des Hauts-de-France

Dear dancers and lovers of beautiful performances, It is with great pleasure that the Compiègne Regional Agglomeration hosts the 4th edition of the Grand Prix International de Danse des Hauts-de-France. Through the waltz, the tango, and the cha-cha, the dancers reveal the richness of a cultural heritage that crosses borders and unites generations. Ballroom and Latin dances embody elegance and a certain sense of joie de vivre, happiness, and the complicity that exists between partners. But before finding harmony and the apparent spontaneity of movement, they have endured years of hard work, rigor, and self-improvement. May this competition be a source of admiration and inspiration for everyone, and may it help to showcase the timeless beauty of dance. I wish the Grand Prix International des Hauts-de-France every success and wish everyone much joy and pleasure in participating in and attending this event.
