16th of march 2012, at the Opera Garnier in Paris, I was doing a series about the famous French ball, « Le Bal de l’X », ball of the Ecole Polytechnique. Young men are called « X », and their partners from the school are the « Xette ». The ball is strictly organized with a series of protocoles including the visit of the ministry of defense, the traditional opera show, the ritual dance called « Quadrille des lanciers »… A real interesting environement to try to work on the dance, in a strictly statit way.
