Blanca Li founded her contemporary dance company in Paris in 1993 and has since added twelve productions to her repertoire. (Nana and Lila, Salomé, Bewitching Love, Andalusia, Stress, Zap! Zap! Zap!, Macadam Macadam, Borderline, Alarm, Minotaur's Dream, Crazy Heart, Poet in New York, The Garden of Delights). Drawing from a wide range of physical expressions, from flamenco to hip-hop, from classical dance to baroque, Blanca Li follows a strangely personal path where disciplines and universes cross and merge to weave the framework of a common artistic adventure.  

Outside of her company, Blanca Li directs or choreographs operas, ballets and musical comedies. At the invitation of the Paris Opera, she choreographed the opera-ballet Les Indes Galantes in 1999 and the ballet Scheherazade in 2001. She was chosen as artistic director and choreographer of the Berlin Ballet at the Komische Oper for a season, where she also created The Dream of the Minotaur for 24 dancers in 2002. In October 2008 she reproduced Anonymous in Love, a musical comedy that lasted seven months at the Movistar Theater in Madrid. In January 2010, she created "What a Circus!" at the Suresnes Dance Festival for "leg's game", pioneers of jazz-rock. In March 2010, she directed and choreographed the opera "Treemonisha" by Scott Joplin for the Châtelet Theater in Paris. In June 2010, she produced in Spain two operas for the composer Luis de Pablo, "Very Gentle" and "Un parquet" (El Canal Theatre in Madrid).

In the field of visual arts, Blanca Li was invited by the Museum of Contemporary Art (MUSAC) in Leon, Spain in 2008 to hold her first exhibition on more than 1000 square meters: Te voy enseñar a bailar (I will teach you to dance).In September 2009, she participated in The Wake of Madrid with a series of audiovisual and interactive works in the streets and squares of the Spanish capital (Ven a bailar conmigo / Come dance with me).

Artistic director of the Andalou Dance Center in Seville between September 2006 and June 2010.

In June 2009, Blanca Li was named "Associated Artist" at the National Choreographic Center in Créteil and Val-de-Marne.

Appointed Officer of Arts and Letters (2007) and Knight of the National Order of Merit (2004) in France, Blanca Li has been awarded the Gold Medal of Merit in the Fine Arts (2009), given by the King at the suggestion of the Ministry of Culture, and the Manuel de Falla Prize (2004) for her choreographic work in Spain.
