Children

1 class a week path - ages 3 to 17

This pathway is for children who wish to discover dance in a fun and stimulating environment. Each week, they explore creative movement and the joy of dancing to music. Students gradually develop coordination, musicality, and the fundamentals of ballet.

From age 7, students participate in the year-end performance. This experience requires commitment from both the child and their family to ensure regular attendance in classes, rehearsals, and performances.

2 classes a week path - ages 9 to 17

Starting at age 8, passionate young dancers may take two classes per week (about 3 hours of training). This faster pace encourages discipline, motivation, and accelerated technical progress. Students develop posture, flexibility, musicality, self-confidence… and stage presence.

This pathway includes:

• pointe classes (based on skill level)
• An evaluation at the end of the first session;
• A progress exam in February with a guest teacher;
• Participation in the year-end performance;
• The possibility to audition for The Nutcracker in September.

Preparatory path - ages 7 to 9

A real stepping stone toward the Dance-study Performance Program, the Preparatory Pathway allows children to be introduced to classical ballet while developing creativity, artistic expression, and physical conditioning. In a fun and stimulating environment, they discover the richness of dance, explore various styles, and can experience the magic of the stage by auditioning for The Nutcracker.

Students who enroll in the Preparatory Pathway are naturally dynamic, curious, and dedicated. They enjoy moving, learning, and performing for an audience. Their passion for dance, consistency, and enthusiasm for multiple classes are innate. With a rhythm of 3 to 7 hours per week, students fully commit to their training and discover the exciting world of a high level dance education.

This pathway includes:

• a priority audition for the Classical Ballet program (dance-study program in performance);

• an evaluation at the end of the fall session;

• an advancement examination in March with a guest teacher;

• participation in the year-end show;

• the opportunity to audition for The Nutcracker in September.

Intensive Contemporary ballet Pathway – Ages 11 to 12

A privileged pathway to the Contemporary ballet Dance-study program, this course offers 6h of dance per week, spread across three classes combining 1h of ballet and 1h of contemporary dance, two complementary styles that build a strong technique and a versatile artistic sensibility.

The contemporary component invites students to explore all dimensions of movement, both technically and expressively: freedom of movement, floorwork, use of weight and gravity, and exploration of energy contrasts. Ballet, in turn, grounds this exploration in precise technique, developing posture, alignment, and musicality.

Students who enroll in this course are curious, committed, and driven by a desire to grow. They enjoy taking on challenges, investing in a serious artistic project, and are looking for a pace that matches their passion.

This pathway includes:

• a priority audition for the Classical Ballet program (dance-study program in performance);

• an evaluation at the end of the fall session;

• an advancement examination in April with a guest teacher;

• participation in the year-end show;

• the opportunity to audition for The Nutcracker in September.
