Same-sex and equality dance take over Paris — and everyone’s invited to the floor!
Welcome to the official website of Rendez-vous de Paris 2026, the only international equality dance competition in France.
Yes — the only one. And we’re very proud of it 💃🕺
Organised by Rainbow Evidanse, in partnership with the Fédération Française de Danse, Rendez-vous de Paris is a weekend of dance, sharing, self-challenge… and contagious joy.
🩰 Practice / Training Session
🗓 Friday, April 10, 2026 — 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm
A chance to meet again and say welcome, greet friends and fellow competitors, find a partner for the occasion, feel the floor, run through your choreographies…
There are plenty of good reasons to stop by Gymnase Japy!
🏆A competition (but above all, a celebration)

On the programme: dance in all its forms — for all bodies, all roles, all identities.

The only Latin & Standard competition open to everyone: same-sex couples, mixed couples, non-binary couples, couples including dancers with reduced mobility…
Here, dance excludes no one.
3️⃣ Beginners’ competition
There’s always a first time… to start, to learn, to dare… and to enjoy dancing from the very first step.

- – Two Standard dances: Slow Waltz and Quickstep
4️⃣ The Fun Competition 🎉(Our signature event!)
A playful competition open to spectators (and D or C level competitors), blurring the line between stage and audience — and making the heart of the party beat louder.
👉 A programme designed to multiply opportunities to dance, to express sensitivity, identity… and a love of movement.
