Since the founding of the Théâtre National Populaire by Firmin Gémier in 1920, Chaillot has welcomed artists and audiences in a place whose architectural, historical and artistic dimensions have created a symbol: a theater at the service of creation and audiences in their diversity. In 2000, Chaillot diversified its programming by opening up to the choreographic arts to become, in 2008, the first National Theatre "to have a project built mainly around and from dance" and in 2016 took the name of Chaillot - Théâtre national de la Danse.

As a public establishment founded by the Ministry of Culture, the Centre national de la danse (National Dance Center) brings together all resources aimed at the sector of choreography and its publics in two places, in Pantin (in the Île-de-France region) and in Lyon (in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region). It supports and trains professional dancers, promotes amateur practice, assists with research, conserves and distributes choreographic heritage, and supports the creation of choreographic works in all forms, while promoting a dialogue with other artistic fields.
