The King is Dancing (Le Roi danse) is a 2000 costume drama by Belgian filmmaker Gérard Corbiau based on Philippe Beaussant's biography of Jean-Baptiste Lully, Lully ou le musicien du soleil (1992).
Set in 17th century France, it depicts the rise of King Louis XIV of France, the Sun King, as seen through the eyes of court composer Lully. The rise of Louis XIV and his growing influence in the court are shown through the elaborate dance routines and the maturing of Louis from a pawn of his mother to the full glory of the Sun King.
