Bonjour, I’m Léa Chalmont, founder and director of Chalmont Agentur.
Dance has been the rhythm of my life for as long as I can remember.
My journey began at the Conservatoire de Danse de Tours in France, where I trained in classical dance from the age of five to eighteen. Those years shaped not only my technique but my deep love for movement in all its forms. In 2000, curiosity led me to Germany to study German and media at the University of Hamburg—a decision that opened new horizons and eventually brought me to Berlin, a city whose diversity continues to inspire me every day.
For over 15 years, I’ve worked as an agent for neoclassical and contemporary dance. At Delta Danse (2016–2023), a distribution agency based in France, I developed its German branch and represented a dozen international companies across Northern and Eastern Europe. Among them were Carte Blanche, Ultima Vez, Ballets Jazz Montréal, Ballet de Genève, Compagnie Jean-Claude Gallotta, IT Dansa, Malandain Ballet Biarritz, and Alonzo King LINES Ballet.
In 2023, I co-founded Fauves – Agency for the Performing Arts, continuing to champion a wide range of choreographers and companies—from performative works to hip hop pieces, from neoclassical to contemporary dances.
Beyond representation, I am passionate about dance criticism and regularly write for magazines and blogs such as Resmusica, Viereinhalbsaetze, Dansesaveclaplume, and CCCdanse.
Today, through Chalmont Agentur, I proudly represent remarkable artists and ensembles, including Dance On Ensemble, cie. toula limnaios, Kamea Dance Company, New English Ballet Theatre, Al Badil, Ebnfloh, Sine Qua Non Art, Compagnie Virginie Brunelle, Company Idem, and Compagnie Abis.
Dance is more than just my profession: it’s my lifelong story, and I’m honored to share it with you!
