Dear dancers,
The end of the year is shaping up to be an exciting one, as we’re moving from our enchanting ballroom to the majestic Opéra Royal de Wallonie!

Trained at the Lyon Danse Académie, and scholarship holder for the “Fondation Danse et Solidarité”, very talented student, former dancer with the Ballet de Nice, Karlshuhe, Capitole de Toulouse (soloist) Dusseldorf, Lyon and Gran Canaria.
What an opportunity to absorb all their advice in the unrivalled atmosphere of our courses…
As an “Intensive”, we aim to offer a global experience, and registration includes all three disciplines (classical, contemporary and barre à terre). The Pointe class is optional, in addition to these 3 courses, and will take place from the 26th to the 28th, i.e. 3 days only.
The “advanced technique” course complements the inter-adv level classical course and enables the most advanced students to take on the great classical technique.
The Hivernales de la Danse audition will take place on Sunday 29 December at 13:30pm, and will last 1 hour. Participation in the Intensive is mandatory to take part in the audition. Our aim is to see students evolve over several classes, rather than just during the audition, which can be too stressful for children. Participants must be between 9 and 12 years old (must not be 13yo during the Hivernales). Registration is required and complementary to the Intensive registration, and can be done HERE.
To guarantee the quality of our courses, the number of participants will be limited, so please register as soon as possible.
Accommodation is available on request with 24/24 surveillance at the Yust Hôtel. Info and registration HERE.
Join us from December 26 to 29 for 4 intense days of Dance, in the historic venue of the Opéra Royal de Wallonie.
