Welcome to
VANGELIS DANCE COMPANY
Bridging high-art contemporary choreographic architecture with somatic wisdom, spiritual philosophy, and transformative human healing across global stages, installations, and site-specific laboratories.
Core Philosophy
“Dance is Life and Life is a Dance.”
Dance is a vital living medium capable of connecting humanity—transcending boundaries of culture, age, gender, and background to cultivate personal growth, relationship equilibrium, and collective harmony.
Artistic Vision & Practice
WHO WE ARE
Under the artistic direction of Vangelis Legakis—choreographer, dance artist, producer, and accredited therapist—VDC operates as an international creative laboratory.
Our work integrates advanced choreographic systems (Forsythe Improvisation Technologies, Flying Low & Passing Through) with the internal alignment of Qigong, Yoga, Meditation, and healing modalities (CranioSacral, Thai Massage, Energy Work).
By recruiting international ensemble artists per project and commission, we offer sustainable platforms for global performers while creating immersive productions that resonate on emotional, psychological, and social levels.
Our Legacy & Evolution
HISTORY
Founded in 2008 in London, UK (originally as The Van-L Dance Company and renamed in 2018), the company has toured original productions, interdisciplinary research projects, and educational festivals worldwide.
Informed by academic research—including a BA & MA from Trinity Laban and an MA in Buddhist Studies from The University of Hong Kong—our repertoire explores human consciousness, sociopolitical structures, and emotional realities.
Through honest expression and somatic depth, VDC continues to push the evolution of contemporary dance, presenting art that heals, transforms, and connects.
