This event exist in two parts. The first is the biggest international workshop from Belgium and second the choreographic meeting (all disciplines) to a theme.This years theme was ‘Michael Jackson – This is it.. will happen!”.

I teached modern jazz on the workshop from 10 to 11h. It was very nice, because all the dancers where motivated and came to learn more about this style.

The Belgian dance competition Dirty Ballet exists already 6 years, and it was the first time that I participated with The Dance Factory. This competition wants to stimulate the dance culture by organizing this chorographical dance meeting.

This year’s theme was the long career of pop singer Madonna. Together with Isabelle Beernaert, Steeve Laurent, Christopher Jamin and myself we co choreographed a four minute dance for the competition in Brussels.

We went home with two prices. One for best technique and one for originality.

On April 18th 2009 the ESDU Belgium Open qualification tournament took place at theatre ‘t Eilandje in Antwerp. All the best dance schools from Belgium met each other but only the strongest would continue to participated to the World Dance Masters 2009 in Croatia. The participants could show their creations and talents in a professional setting to an international ESDU-jury.

Also The Dance Factory participated with 36 choreographies. I made some choreographies myself and all of them were selected for Croatia. I also received some “special prices”. One for the highest score for the creation “Pour que tu m’aimes encore” and another for best choreographer for the choreography “Halo”. (more…)
