Amala Dianor

After starting out as a hip hop dancer, Amala Dianor entered the prestigious CNDC school in Angers (in the class of 2002). In 2012, he founded his own company. Since he created his first solo “Man Rec” in 2014, he has worked in close collaboration with Awir Leon, who has written the original music for his pieces. 

In 2019, he created “The Falling Stardust”, in 2021 “Point Zéron” and “Wo-Man”. In 2021 he began working with Grégoire Korganow; they created a series of short films. 

In 2022, Amala Dianor is selected and supported by the program Big Pulse Dance Network. He has also committed to training pre-professional dancers in France and since 2018 in Western Africa with his project Siguifin, a collective creation with the choreographers Ladji Koné, Alioune Diagne and Naomi Fall. The same year, Amala Dianor was commissioned to create a work for South African dancers by Via Katlehong.
