DONATE TO DAC

WITH YOUR SUPPORT, we can improve our annual programming and add to our services. As our community gradually resumes its activities, it is essential to continue to develop parallel projects aimed at supporting artists in the dance community. ​

Founded in 2014, Danse à la Carte (DAC) responds to the need to bring together and support our 220 members (professional dancers and choreographers) from the classical dance, contemporary dance and hip-hop communities around our 4 programs and events.

WITH the community, FOR the community, BY the community

 Graduated 2018 from EDCM 2022

Working with a choreographer who has a super precise and choreographic method, but who at the same time belongs and is created for each individual in the team, gives me hope that dance can belong to each body and that we can project who we are through an imposed movement.

Being at Place des Arts for a week, the dressing rooms, the theater and the stage, was really a breath of hope and pure happiness that reminded me why I do this job.

I really enjoyed working with a 'master' (Edouard Lock), and getting a glimpse into this complex and beautiful world. Edward was amazing at sharing the depth of his process.
