Les Malchaussées

These boots are made for dancing, and that’s just what they’ll do ! Les Malchaussées make the earth shake everywhere they go. They amaze young and old with spectacular performances. Whether you love music or dance, you will be carried away by the complexity of the rhythms created by the dancers with their bodies and boots as the only instruments.


Les Malchaussées is a contemporary gumboot dance and body percussion company from Quebec City. Founded in 2014, they share and promote gumboot dance through performances and workshops, making it accessible in every possible way. Influenced by their different backrounds in dance and theater, they are distinguished by a unique gesture where gumboot and body music meet contemporary dance, creating a personal, organic and percussive choreographic language.


Several boot formulas are available in order to adapt to all events:


  • Interactive kids show Nom d’une botte !

  • Performances of 2 to 6 dancers (between 5 and 45 minutes) *If the performances take place in the evening, there is the possibility of including choreographies with fire manipulation.

  • Pirate animation

  • Workshops
