From the folks who brought us Montreal's famous 21 Balançoires musical swings comes a whole new musical installation at Place des Arts that is sure to delight you.

Walk Walk Dance is a "brand new project imagined for the cities of the world hoping to quickly revive public spaces after the vacuum created by the pandemic," according to a press release. You can walk, jump, roll, or dance on carpet to trigger beautiful music.

"The pandemic and lockdown isolated people inside their homes, cities and public spaces were deserted, sad and lifeless. We wanted to create an opportunity to meet each other and reclaim our cities, no matter where we live, " said Mouna Andraos, co-founder of Daily tous les jours.

Walk Walk Dance premiered in Toronto in June 2021.

"The purpose of this project is to surprise people by creating spontaneous moments of joy, safely, " added Melissa Mongiat, co-founder of Daily tous les jours.

The installation will be in Quartier des Spectacles until September 6, 2021.
