Recognized internationally for their new-style hip-hop dancing and their captivating, energy-filled freestyles, Laurent and Larry Bourgeois, known professionally as Les Twins, have gained an international reputation. The self-taught talents draw their inspiration from what is in the air and on the airwaves, picking up classical moves and incorporating them into their repertoire to light up dance floors with their freestyles.
Just as an exceptional cognac comes from blending many unique eaux-de-vie, freestyle performing requires harmonious movements, a unique assembly based on skill and instinct. Both arts demand precise gestures, boundless energy — and a spark of genius.
CELEBRATING FRENCH HERITAGE
“Visiting the Château de Bagnolet was like walking into a chapter of French history. And we knew we wanted to create something completely new because the Maison has such an incredible story, with so much passion behind it. Believe it or not, their saga resonates with the story of Les Twins, 250 years later.”
PARALLELS WITH THE WORLD OF DANCE
In the vineyards, distilleries, and Founder’s Cellar in Cognac, Les Twins found inspiration in not just one aspect but the entire art of making Hennessy Very Special cognac, from earth and vine to barrel and glass. The initiation to a craft spanning centuries served as a creative trigger for a freestyle dance interpretation of the six principal stages of cognac-making and the wonder Les Twins experienced at Hennessy.
