Performance

At the École supérieure de ballet du Québec, passion for dance meets excellence in a creative, supportive and inclusive environment.

Our team is dedicated to nurturing talent, commitment and life balance so that every student benefits from training that enables them to reach their full potential and realize their artistic ambitions.

Since its incorporation in 1966 by Madame Ludmilla Chiriaeff, our school has led hundreds of artists to the world's most prestigious stages. It is the only French-language institution in North America to offer international-calibre ballet training.

The professional performance program is designed to develop students' artistic, morphological, psychological and technical skills. It is subdivided into 4 learning cycles, from Junior to Superior, designed to support students at every stage of their development, all the way to a Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC) in classical dance performance.
