The event took place in the heart of Paris at Place St Lazare on September 15th and gave people the opportunity to experience for the first time the new mobile version of Just Dance and dance to the new Coca-Cola song “Find Your Move”.
Members of the public were joined by exclusive Coca-Cola guests, the internationally acclaimed French dance duo, Les Twins in partnership with DanceOn Network. Renowned for their innovative style of hip hop dancing, the two brothers – also known by their monikers Larry “Ca Blaze” and Laurent “Lil Beast” – gave the audience an exclusive show, sharing with them the moves that make them happy.
The event was filmed and directed by former Hip Hop dancer, Mehdi Idir, aka Minos and demonstrates the positive impact that movement and dance have.
