New Dance – Cédric Noël
Belgian Break Dance with a long funfair tradition
Operator: Cédric Noël
New Dance by Cédric Noël is a Belgian Break Dance ride that has been travelling to fairs in Wallonia since the 1990s. The ride is a classic, high-speed attraction in which the movement of the platform combines with the rotation of the individual gondola groups. This creates a ride for you in which the changes of direction and spinning forces are constantly shifting.

What to expect
Several simultaneous spinning movements make New Dance a lively classic at fairs in Wallonia.
New Dance at fairs in Belgium
The ride regularly appears at various events in Belgium. For example, it was mentioned alongside its owner in a recent television report about the Foire d’automne in Mons in November 2026. Its recurring appearances have made New Dance a familiar name among visitors to the regional funfair scene. Noël operates other attractions as well, but the similarly named Maxi Dance is a different ride and should not be confused with this one. This distinction is particularly important when searching for photos and videos.

What riding New Dance is like
The Break Dance ride combines several simultaneous rotations. As the large disc spins, the gondola clusters arranged on it also move. The passenger gondolas can spin too. This combination makes every round different: you experience changing accelerations and ever-new views of the fairground. Unlike on a traditional round ride, you do not have a steady view ahead. The unpredictable interplay of the movements is what makes this ride so exciting.

History and showmen
New Dance is associated with the Belgian showman Cédric Noël. A report by regional broadcaster notélé from February 2024 describes the ride as a fixture at fairs in Wallonia and says it has been operating since the 1990s. The report follows Noël at the start of the season in Leuze and shows how important careful maintenance is in a showman's daily work. A municipal document from La Hulpe explicitly names Cédric Harry Noël as the operator of the “Manège New Dance”. A line-up of rides for the fair in Huy 2026 also lists New Dance with Noël.

Who is the ride suitable for?
New Dance is mainly for visitors who enjoy fast spinning movements. If you are sensitive to rotation, this type of ride is less suitable than a gentle carousel. If, on the other hand, you are looking for the typical Break Dance experience, you can enjoy a dynamic ride with rapidly changing directions of movement. Always check the safety and height requirements displayed at the ride, and follow the staff's instructions before boarding.
