Mourad Merzouki is bringing hip-hop dance to the Paris Olympics. The French-Algerian choreographer is the creator of the “Dance of the Games.” Merzouki’s showcase at the Trocadéro Champions Park kicks off Monday. The four-day “Dance of the Games” marks a triumphant moment for Merzouki, whose hip-hop style was once doubted 30 years ago but has now proven its lasting appeal.
