Based on the geographic proximity but above all on the career of Paola Cantalupo, our Artistic & Pedagogical Director, a special collaboration has been established with the Ballets de Monte-Carlo.

It is a major asset to enable our students to comprehend the various aspects of their future profession, going beyond the restricted academic training frame and approaching the daily life of a renowned company. The students selected by our Artistic & Pedagogical Director will benefit from :

- Training from talented teachers collaborating with the Ballets de Monte-Carlo, who will provide additional classes for the school’s students.

- The discovery of a wider repertoire, in contact with a dynamic and innovative Company.

- The initiation to some of the Ballets de Monte-Carlo’s works, with the help of the Company’s maitres de ballet.

- Observation and practical apprenticeships within the Ballets de Monte-Carlo.

- A participation to the Young Choreographers’ workshops, organised by the Ballets de Monte-Carlo.

- Work placements as replacements in repertoire ballets during the Ballets de Monte-Carlo’s performances in Monaco and in our region.
