Synthèse

The French market for dance lessons has grown in popularity with various forms such as artistic, sports, rock, country, leisure, social and pole dancing, mainly taught in dance schools and by tutors. Despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the sector in 2020, the market has shifted towards online and distance dance courses. In 2020, dance will be the eighth favorite sport of the French, with 17% of the population practicing this activity, i.e. some 11 million people, with a more marked preference among women. The French Dance Federation (FFD) recorded a 5% increase in the number of members, to a total of 84,872 in metropolitan France. The number of affiliated dance clubs fell by 13%, but the southern regions maintained higher rates of participation.

Dance classes are offered in a variety of settings, with prices varying according to location and type of dance, while technological advances such as fitness apps and gadgets have further popularized dance. The dance market is important in the French health and fitness sector, considered to be part of the fitness activities category, contributing to a market value estimated at around 500 million euros. The sector is influenced by the media, digital tools, a wide range of offerings, and social factors such as stress relief and cultural expression, with country dance and dance-fitness such as Zumba being notable trends.

Emerging dance trends and market dynamics in France

France has seen a growing enthusiasm for dance over the past decade, with the number of people practicing the activity doubling. This popularity is reflected in the growing number of dance enthusiasts, with almost 11 million French people taking part occasionally or regularly. Of these, some 3.25 million are considered regular dancers, while almost 2 million are enrolled in dance classes. In addition, the French Dance Federation (FFD) issued over 88,000 licenses, twice as many as in 2008 (around 40,000), testifying to the strong growth of the dance sector. Country dancing in particular is enjoying remarkable success, with around 4 million dancers, the majority of whom are from working-class or middle-income backgrounds. The genre is particularly popular at community festivals throughout France, indicating a trend towards social and leisure dance forms. Demand for dance as a fitness activity is also on the rise. Dance is classed with other fitness activities, such as bodybuilding and combat sports. It is estimated that 22% of the world's 18.5 million fitness enthusiasts, or around 4 million people, engage in dance-related activities. Fitness and dance studios generally offer salsa and zumba classes, the latter being renowned for its accessibility and standardized format that appeals to a wide audience. Although dance is more widespread in the southern half of France, all regions report active participation in this activity.

The reasons for taking up dance are manifold; in addition to the physical aspect, it plays an important role in cultural expression, social interaction, stress relief, therapeutic benefits and improved body image. TV shows like "Dancing with the Stars" and video games like "Just Dance" have influenced young people, fuelling dance culture in France. This shift is driving innovation in the market, with digital trainers and mobile apps blurring the boundaries between traditional dance instruction and technology-based self-study. In conclusion, the dance market in France is showing flourishing trends both in terms of demand and diversification of offerings. The interplay between media influence, fitness integration, accessibility and cultural significance makes dance an expanding segment that appeals to a wide range of participants across the country.
