On Wednesday, October 8, 2025, as part of the Europe-Africa 2025 Biennial, the Restanque third-place in Montpellier hosted Jazzpora, a participatory dance conference organized by Swinging Montpellier and the Museik 1st collective.<\/p>\n
Conceived as a moment of sharing and transmission, Jazzpora retraces the history of African diasporas and their major influence on contemporary popular music and dance. From Jazz to Salsa, from House to Hip-Hop, the event highlights the cultural and artistic filiations of African roots, often overlooked by the general public.<\/p>\n
Halfway between a conference and a performance, the meeting alternates educational talks, dance demonstrations, initiation sessions and a final jam open to all. A lively, accessible approach, designed for a family audience, that invites us to understand cultural circulation through the body, rhythm and listening.<\/p>\n
By combining historical knowledge and artistic practices, Jazzpora is fully in keeping with the spirit of the Europe-Africa Biennial, which aims to promote intercultural dialogue and enhance the shared heritage of the two continents.<\/p>\n
