Dear dancers,

The Winter Intensive is back! Bigger, better, and with inspiring new teachers!

Thomas Gallus, classical: international guest teacher and founder of the Exclusive International Ballet Program. Trained by the greatest in French technique in all its purity, former dancer with Ballets de Bordeaux, Opéra de Paris and Teatro alla Scala Milan and former soloist with Ballet de Nice, Alberta Ballet and Ballet de l’Opéra de Lyon.

Toon Lobach, contemporary: former dancer with NDTI, an international guest artist invited to perform in both intimate projects and major galas, and a regular at “Les Hivernales de la Danse”, where he danced in “Selvportraet” by Paul Lightfoot in March 2025. We are so lucky to welcome him for the very first time as a teacher.

Marie-Laure Lesage, body conditioning: a versatile dancer, a true all-round artist, and a certified Barre and Pilates instructor… Step into her world, and you’ll be captivated forever!

As an “Intensive”, we aim to offer a global experience, and registration includes all three disciplines (classical, contemporary and body conditioning), except for adults (let’s stay tolerant ;-) !!!).

The “advanced technique” course complements the inter-adv level classical course and enables the most advanced students to take on the great classical technique.

NEW We also offer the intensive for adults, but with a bit more flexibility, so that everyone can benefit from it according to their physical abilities, and above all, their schedule!

The Hivernales de la Danse audition will take place on Sunday 28 December at 3pm, and will last 1 hour. Participation in the Intensive is strongly recommended in order to take part in the audition. 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.

Afin de garantir la qualité des cours, le nombre de participants est limité, pensez à vous inscrire dans les meilleurs délais.

Accommodation/boarding school, with 24hour-supervision in the luxury dormitories of the Yust Hotel, is available on request. Info and registration HERE.

OWe look forward to celebrating the end of the year together in the unparalleled atmosphere of our Stage de Danse!
