Show, sport and art combined in a single show. On the stage of the show “France has an incredible talent” on M6 this Wednesday evening, Maé – pronounced – Marseillaise who today lives near Allauch, reveals “inverdance” to the public. “I thought about this discipline during confinementrewinds this mother of a 4 year old little boy. Basically, it's reverse dancing.“It was a friend who somewhere introduced the 33-year-old young woman to this practice, by giving her a yoga stool.
Flexibility, muscle strengthening and dancing
It must be said that during the height of the pandemic, this sports instructor, who has been immersed in sport since a very young age, was chomping at the bit. A former coach in artistic swimming in particular, Maé finds herself without the slightest swimming pool, closed for health reasons, to practice her sport. “The magic to happen immediately. I filmed myself doing a choreography on it. I posted all this on social media, remembers the Marseillaise. I liked it, all my students followed me. We put on a choreography in a room, the result convinced me“.
The thirty-year-old then left her precious permanent contract at the town hall to devote herself fully to her new passion. “I told myself that I was going to become the first to develop inverdance in France“. And this has now been the case for 2 years. Surrounded by “four mothers, an architect, a nurse and high school students“, Maé sees her project publicized in front of millions of viewers this Wednesday evening.
With one goal: to convince the show's jury. “We are competitors, we want to go as far as possibleshe whispers. We come with a number prepared for France with incredible talent. We are a young school and when we see accomplished artists nearby on set, it puts pressure“.
Combining flexibility, dance and muscle strengthening, inverdance requires titanic preparation work, worthy of high-level athletes.
“We can associate it with pole dancing”
For the show, the girls trained between 4 and 5 times a week, in 3-hour sessions. “This practice can be associated with pole dancing.Maé schematizes. The difficulty, however, is to follow a choreography with your head upside down while having the rhythm on the lower part of the body. To separate the legs from the arms. We offer a rhythmic and synchronized choreography, to give a little reminder of artistic swimming“.
When it comes to music, Maé doesn't close any doors. “I want to go to all universes. Both classical and ragga. I don't want to associate inverdance with artistic swimming. It's above all dance“.
A poetic show that could turn the heads of the four members of the jury…
