Purity of gesture in all its splendour ! 

Created in 2012 by Marie Doutrepont, the Hivernales de la Danse aims to bring the crème de la crème of international classical and contemporary dance to Liège. 

Emotions, excellence and high points are some of the characteristics of this prestigious Gala, where excerpts from the great classical repertoire and emblematic contemporary pieces are mixed up, while giving prominence to contemporary creation. Although it may seem that this programme is exclusively for connoisseurs, this is not the case…  The diversity of styles, the virtuosity of the dancers, as well as the raw and contemporary atmosphere of the place allow both the neophyte and the enthusiast to escape and be touched in almost unexpected ways.

The Gala « Les Hivernales de la Danse » now enjoys a national and international reputation, mainly due to the quality of its artists and the choice of choreographies presented.

The 11th edition will take place on 17 and 19 March 2023, at the Manège de la Caserne Fonck in Liège, and is accompanied by an international classical and contemporary dance competition, the Prix des Hivernales, which will take place on Saturday 18 March.
