Chorégraphe de ses propres créations scéniques et des chorégraphies-solos pour les groupes de musique (coopérations pendant les concerts), Balladyna travaille simultanément avec la voix (chant), en lui admettant l’importance égale qu’au mouvement dansé. « Ces deux : la voix – expressionniste, puissante, souvent hurlante - et l’image donnée par le corps en mouvement, souvent jusqu’à déchirement, sont pour moi indissociables dans chaque création ». Si on ajoute encore les mots…

Dans les années 80 à Paris je m'initie à l'aïkido, au khatakali, aux danses égyptiennes avant de plonger corps et âme dans la danse africaine. Je voyage à travers toute l'Afrique avec des orchestres zaïrois, et à travers l'Europe avec des ballets africains. Dans les années 2000, je découvre la danse contemporaine et oriente ma recherche vers la danse théâtre. Toutes ces expériences m'amènent petit à petit à chorégraphier et enseigner une danse d'inspiration africaine alliant humour, sensualité et énergie.

I began dance when I was 4 year old. I went in a Conservatory to learn classical and contemporary dance. During this formation, I needed to dance for me in personal projects, happenings of dance, theatre, in public place, in the streets and museums. I have danced in a dance-theater, "mime" and "conte" compagny during 2 years. Then I came in Paris to discover other ways to dance and other way to use my body and to be expressive. So, now, I'm interresting in martial art, capoeira, theatre... It's really important for me to find who I am by and through my dance, what I want to say and how. Furthermore, I've studied History of Art.
