Superior Cycle
In Quebec, L’École supérieure is the only institution authorized to offer high-level professional training in classical dance, in partnership with Cégep du Vieux Montréal since 1979.
On average, students do 30 hours of dance per week.
While most of the courses are conducted in French, many teachers also speak another language, such as English, Spanish and Russian.
The student has the possibility to choose the dance-only curriculum, which consists exclusively of professional training in ballet. He or she is then following correspondence courses.
Candidates of all levels can audition. However, the later a student enters the program, the stricter the technical requirements. For girls, mastering the pointe technique is essential.
Candidates must audition according to their academic grade level.
