Services
The Performance Professional Program aims at the integral development of the student morphological, psychological, artistic, technical and academic spheres.
To increase the student's autonomy and healthy lifestyle, L’École supérieure provides a range of services that allow him to become both a complete artist as well as an athlete, a responsible citizen and an educated person, knowing how to give back to his community.
The École supérieure attaches the utmost importance to the well-being and physical and mental health of the high-level athletes it trains. A true leader in the field, our approach to training and prevention is based on scientific research and listening to students' needs.
Our health curriculum includes a variety of courses and workshops: physical preparation, movement mechanics and foot care; mental preparation and performance; self-esteem, perception of body image; nutrition and prevention of eating disorders; cooking classes, and more. Individual meetings with a member of the health team can also address more specific concerns or needs as required.
Thanks to a weekly physiotherapy service and strategic partnerships with the CHU Ste-Justine and Kinatex Sport physio, the Health and Well-being Manager is able to guide students and their parents towards health specialists with expertise in the assessment, treatment and support of young dance athletes.
The individualized approach developed by l'École supérieure responds to the uniqueness of each young person and fosters autonomy and the development of full artistic potential in a healthy and stimulating environment.
In 2024-2025, the École supérieure benefits for a final year from an agreement with its school partner, the Pensionnat du Saint-Nom-de-Marie (PSNM), to house high school students from outside the Montreal area. The PSNM welcomes students from Sunday evening to Friday morning.
From 2025-2026: the École supérieure will not offer accommodation services for its students, but will provide a network of host families in Montreal for students enrolled in the Intermediate, Advanced and Superior cycles, or participating in the intensive summer session.

To ensure that every talented young person has the opportunity to pursue a career in dance, regardless of their financial situation, the Foundation of L’École supérieure offers annual student support scholarships. Thanks to the Student Bursary Fund, access to our high-level training is more readily available to young people from families with modest incomes or from remote areas. Students receiving a support bursary may be asked to take part in the activities organized by L’École supérieure and its foundation.
Located on the first floor of the Maison de la danse du Québec Ludmilla-Chiriaeff, the Bibliothèque de la danse Vincent-Warren contains the largest specialized dance collection in Canada and one of the most oustanding in the world, with over 36,000 documents. The free subscription to the dance library is part of the privileges of our students.
