Finally, the Centre is at the heart of a network of several structures, all of which are committed to putting urban cultures, mainly hip hop, on the front of the stage.

Discover in Lille, €1 the school of urban dances inspired by Africa, the Caribbean and Brazil. Founded by Fischer Jeannine, the school has existed for 3 years now. These dances retranscribe a state of mind, the gestural ones, locations of life, a certain spirit of festival, freedom, sensuality, joy and division.

They leave free with the creativity.
Because all the idea here is to connect with energy from the ground, to relax your body and spirit, through dance, dance with its heart, let yourself go, liberation its sensuality!

The concept of the Square Galleries, which are present throughout France, is very simple: make contemporary art accessible to all. In spaces dedicated to artistic creation, Square of artists offers a very wide choice of original and authentic works. Each gallery has different creators. If the size of the square is imposed, the choice of theme, technique and rendering is entirely free. Everything is done to support artists and their creations by allowing them to meet a public, whose satisfaction is the first ambition of the galleries. The works are therefore in small format, but when artists come to the gallery to present their work, the large formats are also presented and available for purchase. Dedications, meetings, children's workshops, everything is done to democratize art and make creation accessible to all. As for artists, they come from all over the world to offer their paintings full of colours and originality. Thanks to the Square galleries of artists, discover contemporary art differently.
