Rock by Guilhem Danse is a free social dance evening held on Wednesdays in Montpellier, in the Occitania region of southern France. It is hosted by Guilhem Danse, a school that teaches rock and west coast swing, and takes place at Gazette Café.
What the evening is like
Each session opens with a free initiation, so you can learn a few basic moves before the music gets going. After that the floor opens to everyone, with a rock DJ playing rock and blues music. The evening starts at 20:15.
It suits a range of visitors: those who already dance, people who would like to try rock and blues for the first time, and anyone who simply wants a relaxed night out among people who enjoy moving to music together.

Planning your visit
Because the event is held at a café, it works well as a low-key start or finish to an evening in the city. Montpellier is a lively university city with a historic centre, so you can easily combine the dance night with a walk or a meal nearby. If you have questions about the session or the venue, contacting Gazette Café directly before you go is the simplest way to check the details.
