Formation path (age 8 and over)
Danse classique
Description
Classical ballet
Classical ballet comes from a long tradition; its practice focuses on acquiring techniques that primarily train the body to become a malleable and expressive instrument.
The Élémentaire levels allow students to learn the basic steps in classical ballet. Over a period of 4 to 6 years, students acquire basic knowledge of classical ballet. The Intermédiaire level courses target the development, complexity and refinement of dance steps, as well as the subtlety and nuance in the execution of the movement. At this level, the student continues to learn by aiming for technical knowledge and artistic expression.
Pointes and variations
Before undertaking this type of training, the student must have completed basic training. Pointe classes require a hard-toed shoe that is fitted to the student’s foot. This training is intended exclusively for girls who are sufficiently advanced in their growth, around the age of 12. These complementary courses to the intermediate training allow to learn choreographies recognized for their level of technical and artistic difficulty.
Danse moderne
Description
Modern dance originated in the middle of the 19th century. Recognized today as a solid technique, it offers its practitioners a way to express themselves in a current and constantly evolving physical language. Modern dance classes are given to young people from the age of 12 and over.
Danse trapèze
Description
Trapeze dance brings together different approaches such as creativity, fitness, and learning trapeze techniques. The trapezes are modified to be hung at the height of the student’s torso.
Trapeze dance offers its participants the pleasure of dancing both on the ground and in the air, exploring constantly renewed movement possibilities.
