Another victim of the pandemic last year, France s festival of dance is now back - and bursting with energy. La Biennale de la Danse begins this week in Lyon, featuring more than 40 dance companies from across the world. At the heart of this year s Biennale is Africa and young people, with performers from 16 African countries, including Nigerian choreographer Qudus Onikeku and his dancers. He has adapted an excerpt of their show to include 16 young amateur dancers from around Lyon for the traditional opening parade this year held on stage in the Fourvière amphitheatre, rather than on the streets of Lyon.
