MazelFreten

He is an electro dancer and the world runner-up in the discipline: Brandon Masele. She is a hip-hop dancer: Laura Defretin.
They are known in the battle scene under the stage names Miel and Nala. They were each making waves on their own, working with artists ranging from Christine and the Queens to Stromae and Angèle, until they met by chance in a dance studio during a short performance.
Their meeting served as a catalyst, inspiring them to blend their respective backgrounds in electro and hip-hop. An extremely sensitive duo, they embody a deeply connected, symbiotic relationship, driven by the desire to rediscover themselves through dance. Together, they create a distinctive language—a movement style unique to their choreographic universe—that brings electro dance and hip-hop to a wider audience.
Deeply passionate about dance and its history, they work—each in their own way—to promote their respective artistic communities by organizing various events (ALMD battles, BOMA MUTU, conferences, dance camps, etc.). It is essential for them to create spaces for connection and expression to encourage dancers to push themselves further in their artistic, personal, and professional endeavors.

To date, the MazelFreten company has five productions to its credit: Untitled (2016), which won the Trans’Urbaine Prize; Perception (2020); Rave Lucid (2022), selected for the 2021 Danse élargie program; Bis Repetita (2022); 1+1=1 (2023), a solo by Laura Defretin; Mémento (2023), a collective electro-hip-hop piece; and 1+1=2 (2024), a solo by Brandon Masele. These shows are performed in France and internationally.
