Resis’Dance, 31st May, Place des Célestins
Resis’Dance brings together three different dance genres, that share a common background: charleston, house, and hip hop. Not normally combined with one another, but they share a similar history as marginalised dances. No matter your colour, gender, or sexual orientation, head over to the Place des Célestins to express yourself and get involved with the dancing. There’ll be initiations and a dance with an orchestra.
Skate the Turntables 2, 2nd June 3pm-9pm, Skate-park Blandan, Lyon 7
Calling all skateboard fans! Come down to Blandan Park on 2nd June to show off your best tricks, watch others, or take part in initiations. The skateboarding will be accompanied by lots of music – with DJ sets from various genres – disco, funk, and world music!
Le Hammam Disco, 30th May 1pm-9pm, a secret location
The most chilled of the Extra! events – mixing the relaxation of hammam with music.
