Dance in Film · 2006
Aurore (2006)
Nils Tavernier builds the fairy-tale plot around a ban on dancing and three world-themed balls, casting Princess Aurore opposite Paris Opera étoile Nicolas Le Riche and commissioning choreographer-performers including Kader Belarbi, so dance becomes both her private resistance and the court's political currency.
Aurore is a 2006 dance feature film centred on ballroom and social dance. For dancers, it's a chance to see the style performed on screen — the phrasing, partnering, and musicality that the same dances carry onto a real floor.

Oriental marriage-ball ballet
Oriental dance (film’s label)Danced by Marie-Agnès Gillot; nine ensemble dancers (unnamed) · Choreography Kader Belarbi
Nine dancers whirling before Aurore and a wealthy suitor as Marie-Agnès Gillot leads the filmed ballet.
The marriage spectacle uses a large whirling ensemble and a principal dancer to make the king’s political matchmaking legible through movement.
Not currently available to stream; timestamp is for reference. Le Parisien’s set report identifies Gillot and nine dancers; Belarbi’s official biography confirms his choreography. The source’s period label “oriental” is preserved as a taxonomy gap rather than mapped to a specific regional form.
