Danse Compagnie Trek
Formed by Cino Miller in Morocco in 1996, is a professional contemporary ballet company for international dancers and students providing them with stimulating and creative opportunities in dance by supporting and promoting future talent through art and entertainment.
THE GOAL
The goal of Danse Compagnie Trek is to introduce various forms of dance to a larger audience, to provide dancers with opportunities to perform and to give young dance students a starting point in shaping their careers.
THE TREK WAY OF THINKING
We are willing and able to design performances and showcases, meeting the standards and conditions of each community in the highest professional manner. In addition to existing choreographies with specially designed costumes we tailor performances according to the requirements of each event and environment.
