After 12 editions presented at the Lévis Convention Center, it is with a desire for growth that the organization of the internationally renowned dance competition, Hit The Floor, made the decision to hold the event at the Center de foires de Québec from 2025.
Even if this decision was not taken lightly, the founder and general director, Nicolas Bégin, assures that it will allow us to take a new step in the evolution of the event.
“The decision to transfer the festival to Quebec was not easy and we looked at all possible solutions before arriving at this point, but we no longer really have a choice if we want to ensure the growth and sustainability of the event while maintaining quality,” explains the Lévis native.
However, he clarified that the organization is already working hard to maintain the unique atmosphere of the event and ensure a great experience for participants. Without wanting to go too far, he also confided that this significant gain in space will allow innovation for future editions.
A nice problem
Mr. Bégin does not hide it, the 2024 edition was decisive in the decision-making due to the record attendance. In total, more than 6,000 dancers and 30,000 visitors came to the event.
For the first time, a second stage had to be installed due to this traffic. By remaining in Lévis, the organization could no longer afford to welcome more dancers and visitors, which the transfer to Quebec will allow.
“Quebec offers modern infrastructure adapted to our growing needs. The facilities will allow us to improve the experience of participants thanks to larger spaces, state-of-the-art equipment and increased accessibility,” underlines the assistant director at Créations Hit The Floor, Frédérick Gravel.
Hit The Floor will still entertain the Quai Paquet in Lévis all summer in a formula that will combine sound, dance, lights and water fountains.
