For more than 10 years, a ball has been organized throughout the department and has had more than 9,000 small Audois dance to date. More than 200 classes participate and 22 balls are organized between March and April. This school of schoolchildren has just taken place on Sigean and gathered in the Grand Gymnasium the schools of Peyriac-de-Mer, Leucate, Portel-des-Corbières and Sigean.
The Ball des Écoliers is a friendly gathering which requires a lot of preparation every year from teachers who have all undergone training in the evening on their personal time to learn the dances requested, as well as for schoolchildren ranging from the small section to CM2, who trained tirelessly to present beautiful dances to their comrades.
The ball started with a common dance to all classes: a country Madison on the music of Beyonce Texas Holdem.
-Each class then presented two traditional dances among the Tarentelle (Italy), the Alunelul (Romania), the grimacière (Portugal) and the Circassian circle (Scotland).
Finally, schoolchildren danced on a personal choreography but on imposed music: Paso-canble, waltz, rock or break dance.
A large gathering much appreciated by schoolchildren and teachers, who made it possible to make 14 classes dance in Sigean this year.
