The company’s aim is to do research in the field dance-movement and how other artistic disciplines can be integrated in dance. Much attention is giving to the position of the choreographer during creation. The dancers’ own dance -vocabulary is given as much as room as possible during the development of the creations. The result is that one can see human beings dancing more than dancers dancing in the performances of Les Ballets C. de la B. vzw
