My deep interest in Beltrão's work comes from his use of hip-hop, which is for me today the real 'contemporary dance', mixed with a strong position of criticism. I think this cocktail is really relevant. It seems that he brings hip-hop back to realism, instead of an advertisement, MTV hip-hop. Jérôme Bel
