Salondancers is an ongoing filmproject that can be situated in the field of visual anthropology.

Until now, four editions of this project have been realised. Each project is a collection of short films of ordinary people dancing in specific communities in Europe. They are invited to dance on his favourite music in their favourite place.

​

The main goal of this project is to stimulate social cohesion. These portraits show a lot about the culture and community the dancing people belong to. All films are projected in public spaces of the communities concerned. This is how inhabitants of a neighbourhood or city are brought together.

​

Salondancers was founded by Lotte Knaepen and realized by Lost Collective (Katrijn Geeraert, Hélène Bernard, Anna Zolnierowicz, Bruno Lourenço, Lisa Matthys).
