other · 2026-05-05

Starting August 16, 2016, Sky Arte HD will air 'Let's Dance', a three-week prime-time series examining dance's connections to other arts, culture, and 20th-century politics. The program features international experts including Benjamin Millepied (principal dancer, New York City Ballet), Marie-Agnès Gillot (étoile, Opéra de Paris), street dancer Andrew 'Drew Dollaz' Boyce (collaborator with Madonna), and burlesque queen Dita Von Teese. Each episode explores how dance interprets physicality and symbolic values across different styles and eras. The series also addresses how dancers' body types influence movement and the final ballet. Sky Arte's website is powered by Artribune, which manages its content and digital interface.
