Betty Mansion, founded the company Play Me A Dance in 2017. Her choreographic style is rooted in an urban aesthetic, always infused with her own unique sense of humour.
If we had to sum up the spirit of the company in a single word, it would undoubtedly be ‘letting go’ — or, to put it better, in English: ‘LET IT GO’. We don’t claim to achieve this every day, but we love talking about it, and above all, exploring it through our creations.
Faced with growing demand for artistic events, the company initially specialised in short formats: shows for festival openings or closings, performances in unusual venues, etc.
A turning point came after Betty took part in the 1000 Pièces Puzzle training programme led by Cindy Claes, where she won an award. This enabled her to launch her first tour with the work-in-progress “Khsara”, which ran for a year in Belgium and France.
She then received a grant from the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, which allowed her to further her research into movement.
In 2022, she created “Oh Summer”, a new short piece that enjoyed considerable success in Belgium and France (notably at the KVS, Théâtre de Namur, Bamp, Palais des Beaux-Arts de Charleroi, Collectif 734, La Gare à Coulisse, etc.).
Also in 2022, Bamp gave him carte blanche, true to his style: a clever blend of urban dance, humour, music and circus — an evening that proved a huge hit with the audience.
This year, the company is finally embarking on its first long-running production: the show “Névroses Banales”, which premiered in January 2026 at the Théâtre de la Vie in Brussels.

Danseuse

Betty Mansion is a Belgian dancer and choreographer renowned for her distinctive style, which blends several disciplines. After training in hip-hop in Belgium, she went on to study in Paris, drawing inspiration from jazz, classical, contemporary and musical theatre. She has made a name for herself through her originality, which enabled her to choreograph for artists, TV shows, adverts and more at a very young age.
After a few years, she decided to return to Belgium to refocus on her own artistic exploration and to set up her company, “Play Me A Dance”. Following the initial success of her work-in-progress “Khsara”, which she performed for a year, Betty now devotes herself to her company to explore “movement” in greater depth, whilst continuing to choreograph for the projects she is passionate about.
She also teaches at several schools and is invited to lead intensive workshops; she tours France, Belgium and Italy with the circus company “Les Josianes”, in which she performs and has been an assistant choreographer since June 2022. She is developing her singing and clowning skills, and has discovered a real passion for this aspect, which she is able to integrate into her creative work.
