Show, sport and art combined in a single show. Inverdance, a sporting and artistic discipline, created two years ago at the foot of the hills of Allauch, near Marseille, is in the final of the show “France has an incredible talent”. This Friday evening, Mae and her troupe will try to seduce the public and viewers to be crowned. “We are very tense, smiles the thirty-year-old. We’re reaching the end, we’re very tired but we’re going to give it our all“.
For this final live show, the former artistic swimming coach plans to raise the bar even higher. “We had a physical performance in the semi-final. There for the final we bring together the artistic and the technical. Without revealing too much, we prepared a very fast, very rhythmic chorea“, continues the 33-year-old “inverdancer”.
A yoga stool as your only accessory
La Marseillaise thought of this practice during confinement, when she was deprived of a swimming pool. A friend then offered him a yoga stool to continue his physical exercises, artistic swimming, far from the pools.
And the idea came naturally: leaning on the stool, the young women perform an inverted dance. “We can associate this practice with pole dancing, Maé schematizes. The difficulty, however, is to follow a choreography with your head upside down while having the rhythm on the lower part of the body. To separate the legs from the arms. We offer a rhythmic and synchronized choreography, to give a little reminder of artistic swimming“.
With its appearance on the show and notable performances, Inverdance has gained followers. “We have requests for registration. The practice is attracting more and more interest“, enthuses Mae who recalls that this “art“is not just for women.
“We received interesting proposals to put on a show“, she concludes. But everything in its time. For now, the Allaudian troupe is meeting on M6.
Thiméo, a dancer from Marseille in the final with RB Dance Company
The Inverdance artists will not be the only Provençal artists present in the final. Thiméo Garin, 16, is part of the RB Dance Company group also in the running. In the past, this little dance prodigy was European and world hip-hop champion in 2019.
The find notably obtained a “golden buzzer” from Karine Le Marchand during the qualifying events.
