In 2016, together with the Ten Weyngaert, we launched the ‘Bal Moderne Academy’. No need for special clothes or training, just come along and learn two or three of the 50 dances that make the Bal Moderne’s magnificent repertoire, in a atmosphere that’s fun and relaxed. In just a couple of hours you’ll be dancing choreographies specially made for the Bal Moderne from artists as renowned as Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Wim Vandekeybus to local hip-hop dancers and up-and-coming stars in the making. Our range of music spans Beyoncé to Bartok.
For the last 20 years, the Bal Moderne’s close relationship with contemporary artists distinguishes it from other collective dance experiences such as flash mobs or folk bals. For the Bal Moderne Academy, we intend to revive our entire repertoire over the course of the year, and end with a giant fiesta where we will film the dances for our live archive. Come and join us and be our first Bal Moderne Academy students and, who knows, if you attend regularly, our star graduates? !
