Our Dance Workshops

The dance company has offered a rich and diverse array of workshops over time, tailored to engage a wide spectrum of participants. These include creative movement workshops for children, individuals, inclusive sessions for all audiences, as well as more specialized programs designed for higher education institutions. Additionally, the company has developed targeted workshops for professionals and institutional settings, focusing on employee well-being through movement and embodied expression. Many of these initiatives are closely tied to the company’s ongoing research into the relationship between dance, emotion, and collective experiences such as mourning, using movement as a powerful tool for connection, healing, and personal reflection.

Les Rondes - Online Dance Workshop (Streaming Available)

Les Rondes is a dance concept created by Gwen Rakotovao in 2020, designed as an online workshop series exploring circularity, rhythm, and connection through movement. Originally developed during a time of global isolation, these workshops offer a way to reconnect with the body, with space, and with others — even from a distance.

​

Available to stream and rent, each session guides participants through accessible improvisation exercises and embodied exploration. The videos are either in French or English, movement speaks a universal language — no translation is needed to feel and follow along. Whether you're a dancer, a teacher, or simply curious, Les Rondes invites you into a poetic and liberating experience of dance, wherever you are in the world.
