The story

Duo Solo Danse in Saint-Louis

Duo Solo Danse is an international contemporary dance festival held each year in Saint-Louis, founded by the Diagn'Art dance company. Now past its sixteenth edition, it brings choreographers and dancers from around the world for performances, exhibitions and training workshops centered on duo and solo choreographic forms.

Saint-Louis, better known internationally for its jazz festival and its Fanal lantern tradition, has also quietly built a genuine reputation in contemporary dance thanks to Duo Solo Danse, a festival created and sustained by the Diagn'Art dance company, a troupe based in the city.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's format is unusually specific for a dance event, focusing deliberately on duo and solo choreographic works rather than large ensemble productions, a structural choice that keeps the programming intimate and puts individual dancers' and pairs' technical and expressive range at the center of attention

02

The mystery stays covered

Founded and still driven by the Diagn'Art dance company, a Saint-Louis-based troupe, the festival has grown over sixteen-plus years into a genuinely international gathering, drawing artists, choreographers and audiences from across the world to a mid-sized Senegalese river city, while also functioning as a training platform for younger dancers seeking mentorship and exposure they might not otherwise find outside Dakar
