Performance is of paramount importance in the training of a young artist embracing a dancer’s career. The Cannes Jeune Ballet dancers are given the opportunity to evolve from dance students to professional performers.

Cannes Jeune Ballet is the ultimate phase of a dance training and stands as the ESDC Rosella Hightower’s historic emblem.

Cannes Jeune Ballet’s repertoire is created by the Artistic Directorship in order to provide dancers with rich and varied experiences, from classical ballet to contemporary dance. The carefully selected ballets cater for the dancers’ levels and degrees of preparation.

On one hand classical ballets foster the group’s rigor, discipline, search for harmony and musicality and therefore represent the classical heritage.

On the other hand, Cannes Jeune Ballet’s own creations and its revivals of contemporary pieces confirm the strong creativity quest which belongs to the ESDC and are paving the way for the latest contemporary trends.
