In 1994, she turned her attention to early dance, working with Béatrice Massin and Christine Bayle in Baroque, and Barbara Sparti and Bruna Gondoni in Renaissance. Since 1999, she has specialized in 15th and 16th century dance. In 2012, she founded Tracervatoire ressources pour la danse savante et un patrimoine vivant, a laboratory for research and transmission through workshops, courses, performances and conferences in France and abroad. As a choreographer, she uses material from another era to create a unique style in today's dance landscape.
