While teaching history and theories of performing arts at university (Metz, Versailles-Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, Sorbonne Nouvelle-Paris 3 and Lille 3), she conducted several research missions for the Cité de la Musique and the Centre national de la Danse in Paris. Chief editor for dance books within the Dramaturgy Direction of the Paris national Opera since 2002, she cofounded and presided the aCD from 2007 to 2014 (Association des Chercheurs en Danse: http://www.chercheurs-en-danse.com/fr). Between 2015 and 2017, she was a «Marie Curie-BRAIN Fellow» (www.mwfk.brandenburg.de) at the European University Viadrina in Frankfurt-an-der-Oder (Axel Springer Endowed Chair for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History, Exile and Migration), where she devoted herself to a postdoctoral research on exile of the German speaking choreographic world under Nazism - a project she is still conducting.
