“Anne Nguyen and her dancers invite you to learn looping pop, a new robotic and electrifying hip hop dance in couple! Looping pop is inspired by ballroom-style dancing, which is then confronted with the mechanical and angular gesture of popping, a specialty of hip hop dance. Muscle isolation, blocking and different body states, such as slow-motion, waves and robotics are carried out in a complementary or question/answer type format in close contact with a partner, for a playful and short-circuiting moment of exchange!”

“It’s a sort of b-boying performed in the style of Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker. Or let’s say a kind of breakdance crossed with William Forsythe’s concepts. Today, choreographer Anne Nguyen is used to these kinds of comments about her work. She understands the comparison as she is attached to deconstructing hip-hop’s vocabulary in order to reconstruct it, like a puzzle, in choreographies which are more and more acclaimed.”
