Book: ‘Dance, the philosophy of the body in motion’ - Allary Editions

In La Danse – Philosophie du corps en mouvement (Dance – Philosophy of the Body in Motion), Alexandre Lacroix subtly explores what lies behind the grace and rigour of dance movements.

The result of an exceptional immersion behind the scenes at the Paris Opera, alongside prima ballerinas Ludmila Pagliero and Stéphane Bullion, this essay questions the very nature of dance: why do we dance, and what does this movement reveal about the link between discipline and freedom?

Between philosophical reflection and poetic insight, the author invites us to rediscover dance as a universal language of the body and mind, capable of awakening an essential emotion in everyone.
