Dare! is a one-of-a-kind artistic encounter between a choreographer and a group of dance performers, brought together to create an ephemeral, spontaneous, and vibrant work in full view of the audience. This collective creative experience is a founding concept of the choreographic company Danse K par K, which has been producing the event since 2005. The process culminates in an exclusive performance born of this artistic effervescence.

After the Dare! 2025 adventure in Quebec City, Karine Ponties, Karine Ledoyen, and Bruno Pradet reunite once again—this time on Belgian soil. Between December 1 and 12, the three choreographers take over Le Labeur Studio at La Dame de Pic / Cie Karine Ponties for two weeks of creation and two public performances. This second collaboration for the artistic trio aims to further their shared exploration around a simple yet bold idea: creating from the place of “yes.”

In total, 15 Belgian performers, divided into two cohorts, take part in the experience.
Public performances took place on December 5 and 12 at 7:30 p.m.

World premiere: December 1–12, 2025

Description: Danse K par K, La Dame de Pic, and Cie Vilcanota reunite for two weeks of creation in Brussels with eighteen Belgian dance performers.
