"Odalisque dansant" (Dancing Odalisque) is a notable sculpture by the Swiss-born French sculptor James Pradier (1790–1852), who was a prominent figure in the neoclassical movement. The term "odalisque" refers to a female slave or concubine in a harem, particularly within the context of the Ottoman Empire, and has been a popular subject in European art, symbolizing exotic beauty and sensuality.

Created in the 19th century, "Odalisque dansant" captures the figure of a young woman in the midst of a dance, embodying both the grace and the eroticism that Pradier was known for in his works. The sculpture is a testament to Pradier's mastery of form and his ability to convey movement and emotion through marble. The piece reflects the Orientalist trends of the time, where Western artists were fascinated by the perceived exoticism and mystery of the East.

Pradier's "Odalisque dansant" is often praised for its lifelike quality and the skillful depiction of the human body. The sculpture's fluid lines and detailed carving showcase the artist's technical prowess and his understanding of human anatomy. The work is also significant for its cultural implications, as it reflects the complex views and fantasies that Europe held about the Ottoman world during the 19th century.

The sculpture is part of Pradier's larger body of work, which includes other famous pieces such as "Sappho" and the statues on the pediment of the Luxembourg Palace. As with many of Pradier's sculptures, "Odalisque dansant" is characterized by its neoclassical style, with a focus on idealized beauty and purity of form, while also incorporating a romanticized interpretation of Oriental themes.

"Odalisque dansant" by James Pradier remains an important work in the history of 19th-century European sculpture, reflecting both the artistic trends of the period and the cultural fascination with the East that was prevalent among European intellectuals and artists. The piece continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader context of European art history.
