Les Twins
Laurent and Larry Nicolas Bourgeois, AKA “Lil Beast” and “Ca Blaze,” are professional dancers and movement artists. As a duo, they move with joy and without limitation.
Larry and Laurent’s ability to synchronize and improvise through physical expression is absolutely remarkable. Trust us and watch the video content on this page. Dancing together since they were toddlers, the brothers have made a professional identity and career out of their movement artistry. Wikipedia notes that Laurent and Larry are “[o]ften referred to by their respective nicknames, ‘Lil Beast’ and ‘Ca Blaze.’” An early breakout moment for the brothers was their competing as finalists in the popular French dance competition show, Incroyable Talent, in 2008.
The brothers do not always wear identical outfits, although they tend to be costumed as such when performing as supporting dancers. They usually are sporting crisp and comfortable streetwear as their dance outfits of choice. Vogue has described them as “Beyoncé’s French identical twin backup dancers with impeccable timing and standout hair,” but this accolade is just one of many impressive and global gigs they’ve taken on together. Of note, Les Twins had a good amount of screen time in Homecoming, the legendary Beyoncé Coachella concert-documentary. They’ve performed in conjunction with other musicians, as well, including Missy Elliott.
Larry and Laurent are also featured in a slew of modeling cameos, such as in Emporio Armani clothing campaigns and Diesel's fragrance advertising.
