La La La Human Steps is a Québécois contemporary dance group in Canada, known for its energetic, acrobatic style that often involves fast-paced and athletic physical contact. Its signature move is the barrel jump, which is like a horizontal pirouette in the air.
The troupe has collaborated with rock musicians, including David Bowie, David Lang, Frank Zappa, Skinny Puppy, Einstürzende Neubauten, Kevin Shields, and Carole Laure. It was formed in 1980 by Édouard Lock under the name Lock-Danseurs and showcased for many years Louise Lecavalier. The group appears regularly in its hometown of Montreal, Quebec and all over the world.
The current soloist of La La La Human Steps is Grace-Anne Powers.
