The “advanced technique” course complements the inter-adv level classical course and enables the most advanced students (ages 16 and older) to take on the great classical technique.

Participants must be between 9 and 12 years old (must not be 13yo during the Hivernales on 19 March 2027). 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.

We look forward to seeing you again!
