CN D is France’s leading resource centre for dance. With sites in Pantin and Lyon, it offers choreographers, dancers and professional dance companies a range of programmes, including residencies, studio space and financial support for new works. This page outlines all of these programmes.

CN D is presenting an "online" version of Canal to provide artists with a broader platform for expression. Canal Online features 32 videos, each offering a unique artistic perspective to explore. Since 2020, Canal has also been inviting international organisations to participate. In 2026, the focus is on the Balkan region. Canal online is organised with the support of Caisse des Dépôts, the principal patron, and with the support of ONDA – Office national de diffusion artistique – as part of its program to support digital productions.

The Cinémathèque de la Danse creates programmes to request, for partners in France and abroad, either in the form of complete films or montages of extracts adapted to specific types of programming. This year, numerous theatres, dance centres, festivals, cinemas and cultural centres throughout the world are showing images from the CN D’s collections, as one off events, or linked to a programme, or as part of a more regular collaboration.
