Bringing Taiwan out and bringing the world in

Founded in 2014 by Artistic Director Po-Cheng Tsai, B.DANCE is guided by the belief in "bringing Taiwan to the world, and bringing the world to Taiwan." Through contemporary dance, the company fosters international cultural exchange, with a long-standing focus on the European performing arts market and a sustained effort to expand the international visibility of Taiwanese contemporary dance.

​

To date, B.DANCE has toured 28 countries and 134 cities, with more than 370 performances to its name, and its touring footprint continues to grow. Over the past eleven years, the company has received numerous international awards and been invited to perform at many leading theaters.

​

Following the global pandemic, Po-Cheng Tsai once again led B.DANCE on a European tour starting in 2022, with more than 30 performances across Europe each year. In 2023, the company took the stage at Festival Vaison Danses, performing in the historic Roman theatre built in the 1st century AD, to the applause of an audience of over 3,000. B.DANCE went on to appear at Festival Nuits de la Citadelle, with a history spanning more than half a century, and at Festival International de Danse de Cannes, held annually since 1985.

​

In early 2024, B.DANCE traveled to Paris, where it was invited to perform at the second edition of Tant qu'on danse, and held a series of dance workshops and master classes across the greater Paris region for dance schools, amateur dancers, and dance enthusiasts, helping to nurture the next generation of dance talent. Through his tireless efforts to dissolve borders through performing arts—both in Taiwan and across Europe, particularly France—Po-Cheng Tsai has achieved a number of firsts, establishing himself as one of the key figures driving cultural exchange between contemporary Taiwan and Europe.
