On the last day of Paris Disability Month, July 8, 2023, come and dance with your friends at a Bal Arrangé, at the Guinguette de Paris Plage. On the program: original dances for a festive and inclusive moment!

Throughout the month of June, the City of Paris offered a wide range of disability-related activities, including sports, shows, guided tours and exhibitions. The aim of these events was to give a voice to those concerned, during Paris Disability Month. To celebrate the final days of this event, a grand ball is being organized on July 8, 2023 by the dance company"La Halte Garderie", inclusive and festive!

The Bal Arrangé will bring together hundreds of people to dance together, whether or not you have a disability. But this isn't just any old ball, as a group of accomplices will lead you through an evening of original dances inspired by modern dance, tango, hip hop and sports movements. Four musicians from the Orchestre de chambre de Paris will be on hand to entertain you, along with DJs.

All in all, it's a free, fun-filled dance party for all! Over the next few days, you'll be able to discover a wide range of disability-related events open to all.
