Following our new Brussels location for the Estivales de la Danse Balletstars Gala, we’re extending the dancing pleasures by organising a brand-new intensive course in Brussels! We’ll be taking over the sublime, brand-new studios of the Opinion Public company and the Studio B school in the Cité des Associations in Saint Gilles, Brussels.
We welcome all passionate and motivated dancers, subject to video selection. Under the watchful eye of seven dance professionals, students will have the opportunity to share a week of work and perfect their technique, as well as discovering various repertoires associated with great choreographers.
The canteen, which is located in the Cité des Associations, will be a perfect meeting place during this intense week, where you can meet the teachers, talk to them and, why not, ask them for some advice…
The exceptional faculty for this first edition is:
- Osiel Gouneo, Principal Dancer with the Bayerisches Staatsballett – CLASSICAL
- Elena Vostrotina, Principal Dancer with the Ballett Zürich and formerly with the Semperoper Ballett Dresden – CLASSICAL
- Marie Doutrepont, Former dancer with the Royal Ballet and Opera in London and founder of the Hivernales/Estivales de la Danse – CLASSICAL
