World leaders shouldn’t dance. Period. Of the captured-for-posterity bloopers over the years – from Boris Yeltsin wobbling at a soft-rock gig to Barack Obama shaking it like a middle-aged father-of-two – these cringeworthy choreographies are naff in the extreme. That said, French president Emmanuel Macron is proving he’s down with the kids by taking the much-more-graceful step of hosting a concert to celebrate France’s Day of Music, this Thursday. The 1,500-person jamboree in a courtyard of the Élysée Palace will see soft-power-spewing chanteurs and chanteuses (well DJs really) including Kavinsky, Busy P and Kiddy Smile take to the stage to celebrate the nation’s vast and influential musical oeuvre. Good idea? Absolutely – and a nice way for Macron to align himself with both younger voters and the nation’s artsy sorts. Worth dancing about? We’d counsel against it, monsieur Président.
