Session Description

The first year is based on perfecting the three fundamental techniques: classic, contemporary and modern. These disciplines are taught intensively throughout the first year, providing a solid foundation of technical skills that will enable students to approach the different demands and styles of guest choreographers and teachers throughout the training. From the second semester, students have the opportunity to perform on stage and present pieces that are part of the school's repertoire or choreographed for them as part of a choreographic workshop as well as their composition work.

During the second year, students continue to perfect their technique while engaging in artistic openness and professional situations through workshops led by guest choreographers and teachers throughout the year. These workshops offer an opportunity for young dancers to explore new vocabularies, develop their adaptability and understand the reality of the profession, in particular the process of working with a choreographer and the possibility of making themselves known to international artists. Students join the young ballet and perform very regularly on stage, which allows them to develop their stage ease and their artistic identity.

In addition to the regular program of classes and workshops, students benefit from specific coaching for their orientation and preparation for auditions.
