Performance
At L'École supérieure de ballet du Québec, passion for dance meets excellence in a creative, supportive and inclusive environment.
Our team is dedicated to nurturing talent, commitment and life balance so that every student benefits from training that enables them to reach their full potential and realize their artistic ambitions.
Since its incorporation in 1966 by Madame Ludmilla Chiriaeff, our school has led hundreds of artists to the world's most prestigious stages. It is the only French-language institution in North America to offer international-calibre ballet training. Since 2025, it has also been offering a professional Parcours multidanses for high school students.
The professional performance program is designed to develop students' artistic, morphological, psychological and technical skills.
Two programs are offered :
- The Classical Dance program is subdivided into 4 learning cycles, from Junior to Superior, to accompany students at every stage of their development, right up to the Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC) in Classical Dance Performance.
- The Multidanses program is designed for students in Secondary, corresponding to the Intermediate and Advenced cycles.

Classical Dance Program and Multidanses Program
Starting in high school, selection is a two-step process:

Candidates from outside Quebec and abroad can audition by video. However, it is always preferable to audition in person.
