Champions Park: ready to dance?
A place for sharing sport and culture, the Champions Park will be at the heart of the festivities during the Olympic Games. From July 29 to August 10, three performances will be presented alternately to the public. Come to the Trocadéro to enjoy these captivating shows!
From July 29 to August 10, the Parc des Champions will be "the place to be"! Firstly, it will be the place to celebrate the heroes and heroines of the sports fields, who will come to commune with the public, medals around their necks. But above all, it will also be the temple of artistic performance, accessible for free, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower! Every day, 13,000 people will be able to come and enjoy it, especially during the opening shows put on by three companies and artists emblematic of the French and international scene.
Showtime!
Alone, with friends or family, come and enjoy the opening shows performed by extraordinary artists! The first part of the Champions Park daily program is part of the Olympiade Culturelle. Rich and varied, it will be offered to the public during the fortnight of the Games through three fascinating choreographic universes: a classical and electro-inspired parade; a hip-hop parade carried by thirty dancers and urban artists; and a voguing competition combining dance, show and extravagant outfits inspired by sporting disciplines. In short, these opening shows will live up to the hype! We bring it all to you.

- The Paris Sports Ball by Vinii Revlon
August 1, 6 and 8 at 5:30pm
A competition combining dance, fashion and performance framed by an exceptional jury to celebrate inclusion and diversity? That's ball voguing! In a show as extravagant as it is spectacular, voguing legend Vinii Revlon takes us into a colorful and delirious universe for a ball made to measure on the Olympic theme. Born of the LGBTQIA communities in the 1960s, voguing has become a powerful symbol of self-acceptance. The Paris Sport Ball for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games will be no exception to the rule and will celebrate the values of equality, respect and tolerance so dear to the Olympic and Paralympic Games. One thing's for sure: it's going to be a show full of surprises!
