« Passionate and enthusiastic about all styles of dance, and believing in the practice of excellence, harmony, hard work, and ethics, I chose to create a dance school open to the world and in tune with the times. It is multidisciplinary because dance is not limited to one style or technique, but rather constitutes a universal and varied body language.
My primary concern is to provide quality instruction, both technically and artistically, in a healthy and welcoming environment, and to instill in our young people the joy of dancing as well as essential values such as respect for others, perseverance, and humility.
Over the years, with the invaluable collaboration of formidable teachers, we have developed a pre-professional training program that has quickly generated young talent.
The natural evolution of the training program led to the creation of the Advanced Dancer and Young Ballet Training program, designed to support dancers right to the threshold of their professional career. »
