Got moves? The Philadelphia Live Arts Festival is putting out a call to all Philadelphians who love to dance to be part of the biggest performance in the 16-year history of the fest to kick off the 2012 Live Arts Festival on September 8-9.

During this one-of-a-kind performance presented at the Art Museum Plaza, more than 200 Philly residents will dance in a 30-minute, outdoor contemporary live show titled “Le Grand Continental” that displays the talent, charisma and lively personality that characterizes the City of Brotherly Love.

Working with internationally renowned Montreal-based choreoprapher Sylvain Emard, who has presented the piece in Montreal and Mexico City, the Philly version of “Le Grand Continental” will include a mix of rhythms and styles, ranging from R&B to country, techno, disco and even waltzes, all representing the diverse Philadelphia sound.

All are invited to register, regardless of dance experience, age or background. Click here to get started. Recruitment sessions will be held May 15 and 16, 7-9 p.m. each day at the Live Arts Studio.
