A Dance for Two
Benjamin Millepied
In 2025, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels presents A Dance for Two by Benjamin Millepied as part of the event Spring is Blooming at Rockefeller Center by Van Cleef & Arpels.
A Dance for Two is designed to be performed in a 360-degree setting, with the audience surrounding the dancers and immersed in a sound system that envelops both performers and spectators. Of the score, composer Caroline Shaw writes: “Partita is a simple piece. Born of a love of surface and structure, of the human voice, of dancing and tired ligaments, of music, and of our basic desire to draw a line from one point to another.”
"New York is a city that has shaped me as an artist—its energy, history, movement. To present at Rockefeller Center, a landmark deeply woven into the city’s rhythm, is an honor. Dance belongs in spaces where people gather, where movement echoes life. Bringing new work here is a connection to dance’s past, present, and future." Benjamin Millepied

Van Cleef & Arpels has been working alongside choreographer Benjamin Millepied and his dance troupe, L.A. Dance Project, since 2012. This collaboration has given rise to several choreographic works, including Gems, a contemporary ballet trilogy (2013-2016). In 2018, the Maison again supports Benjamin Millepied for the creation of Romeo & Juliet Suite. In 2022, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels renews this partnership by presenting Be Here Now in Paris and Los Angeles.
