Great news: this year, Little Villette is not just hosting one, but TWO dance weekends! Mark your calendars for March 14-15 and June 20-21, 2026, and enjoy family fun at Little Bal.

Get ready to hit the floor! Prepare for wild rounds and lively caterpillars: Little Villette invites families to celebrate during its special weekend event, Little Bal. This year, little ones are in for a treat, with two dance-filled gatherings. Young dancers are invited to join the fun on the weekend of March 14 and 15, 2026, and again on the weekend of June 20 and 21, 2026, where they can enjoy free activities centered around dance.

From traditional dances to more contemporary moves, gather your family and join the fun! What’s on offer? Participate in lively dancing games or sing along during circle dances, and let loose at the special family dance event. Parents and children can share a joyful, creative experience together, all to the beat of the music.

As with each of its themed weekends, Little Villette has also planned creative workshops. Plus, visitors can enjoy free access to all the games and activities available on-site. From a LEGO wall and a reading lounge to a game bar and a specially designed thought corner for little ones: there's plenty to keep children entertained and help them burn off some energy all afternoon!

As per the venue's usual schedule, all activities and entertainment during this Little Bal weekend are completely free and open to everyone. However, it's recommended to arrive early to sign up for the events before they reach full capacity.
