Coeur de la ville de Bruxelles
After dark Thursday to Saturday, the Bourse rooftop becomes the hotspot of Brussels Dance Festival’s nightlife.
In a more intimate but still electrifying atmosphere, the afterparties bring clubbers and festivalgoers together for a curated musical experience.
On the decks, DJs from the Brussels and international scene play eclectic sets: electro, groove, house music and more commercial beats… Every night has its own vibe, with a mix of fun, friendship and freedom.
It’s another time, another place, but the same party feel.
And, best of all, an exceptional location: elevated and outdoor with panoramic views over the Brussels skyline. Halfway between city and stars, this is your opportunity to meet people and enjoy one last dance.
The Brussels Dance Festival afterparties are more than just an add-on to the main event: they’re unmissable celebrations filled with music, movement and unique collective energy.

Following La Pluie (Act I) in 2023 then Pleurez! (Act II) a year later, CRC is releasing a shorter but crucial format for his artistic evolution: L’Entracte. This five-track project produced by Armand Tournier presents as a true intermission, hinting at a future Act III.
Much more than an interval, L’Entracte marks an important step in the Belgian rapper’s journey. Here CRC explores his personal relationships with new depth and sincerity in his work.
Musically, he skilfully combines rap, chanson française, R&B and afro influences, confirming his ability to cross and fuse genres. After gracing the stages of the Dour and Grünt Festivals and twice filling the Ancienne Belgium concert hall in late 2024, CRC is now preparing for Act III. L’Entracte is the bridge: an intimate and essential auditory experience in today’s French-language rap landscape.
A young Brussels-based artist, Lovelace is part of the new alternative pop scene. She creates her unique sound in her bedroom-cum-studio, weaving a dark thread of soft, robotic and distorted sounds.
Her work is a true audio cocktail in the style of Billie Eilish, 070 Shake and Babysolo33. Lovelace has long been a lover of life, which makes her overly cheerful sometimes. Unfortunately, that love constantly clashes with the absurdity of this world. A little self-deprecation, lots of love and much melancholy are her formula for surviving the chaos.
The Junior Ballet Project (JBP) from the company Opinion Public is an intensive programme for dancers aged 17 to 25. Designed as a practical career platform, it immerses participants in a company-like working environment, developing the technical, artistic and interpersonal skills they need to grow as performers.
Launched by the company’s artistic director Sidonie Fossé in September 2024, the two-year programme provides daily training from Monday to Friday: a demanding syllabus of classical dance, contemporary dance, partnering, floorwork, acrobatics and improvisation, as well as other complementary disciplines emphasizing versatility, creativity and artistic maturity.
Throughout the year, the dancers also join performances, giving them regular opportunities to go on stage and apply what they have learnt before an audience.
