Who we are
Beirut Contemporary Ballet BCB is a full-time professional dance company bridging classical foundations and contemporary practices. We believe dance is vital to keeping a society open, expressive, and connected
Our Story
BCB emerged from a need for sustained contemporary dance practice in Beirut. What began as small-scale creations and screen-based work has evolved into a wider artistic ecosystem, bringing together dancers, filmmakers, musicians, and designers around a shared movement language.
What We Do
Rooted in Beirut and engaged internationally, we develop rigorous, relevant work across four pillars:
Stage: Original live performances and repertoire.
Screen: Dance films and multimedia collaborations.
Training: Workshops and long-term educational structures.
Consultancy: Artistic direction and institutional collaboration.
Mission
We create contemporary dance that is technically rigorous, emotionally direct, and rooted in human experience.
BCB works to expand the possibilities of dance in Lebanon through stage performances, screendance, and training. We invest directly in dancers—building long-term educational pathways and a sustainable artistic ecosystem in Beirut. We believe innovation becomes possible when talent, discipline, and opportunity meet.
Vision
We envision a full-time, internationally touring contemporary dance company based in Beirut.
BCB is building a cultural environment where dancers no longer have to leave the region to sustain a career. By creating acclaimed work and fostering rigorous local training, we aim to place Beirut visibly on the global stage—capturing the true reality, contradiction, and vitality of our city.
