The Centres chorégraphiques nationaux (CCN), alongside the Centres de développement chorégraphique nationaux (CDCN) and the Centre national de la danse (CND), structure the dance landscape in France as reference centres, labelled by the French Ministry of Culture.
Supported by the State and local authorities, the CCNs promote the development of dance, both through the creative dynamics of their director-choreographers, but also by supporting choreographic artists of various currents, through the diffusion of their productions and the outreach work of raising public awareness of the art of dance.
There are currently 19 Centres chorégraphiques nationaux. The CCN of Créteil is one of the first to have been created, by Maguy Marin. Three of them are now run by hip-hop choreographers, in Créteil (Mourad Merzouki), Rennes (FAIR-E collective) and Le Havre (Fouad Boussouf).
