Established in 2000 by Hélène Langevin, Bouge de là creates and performs prime quality dance pieces for young audiences and develops a multitude of cultural mediation activities that promote dance. The company remains one of the rare professional dance companies in Québec devoted exclusively to creating dance presentations for children—and its action is deployed nationally and internationally. In 2025, Bouge de là was shortlisted as a finalist for the 39th Grand Prix du Conseil des arts de Montréal, recognizing the company’s body of work.

By fusing dance with other artistic disciplines (video, theatre, shadow play), the company offers contemporary dance performances full of humour and poetry. It has eight works in its repertoire: La Tribu Hurluberlu (2000), Like the 5 Fingers on your Hand (2003), CHUT!! (2005), Old Thomas and the Little Fairy (2008), The Studio (2010), Bedtime! (2013), The 26 Letter Dance (2016), Through my Eyes (2018), GLITCH (2022) and A Cloud in my Tummy (2024). An eleventh creation is currently in development.

In 2017, Bouge de là launched 26 Dance Cards, a unique educational and artistic cardgame that is very popular with the school community and families and has also crossed the borders of Quebec to find itself elsewhere in Canada, in Europe and in Brasil. A second edition was produced three years later, and to date over 1,500 copies have been distributed. Building on this success, and with a desire to provide lasting resources for the education sector and families, the company released Volume 2 of its 26 Dance Cards in 2025, offering 26 new creative dance activities for children aged 4 and up.
