Classical Dance – Training, advanced training and professional support Former international principal dancer, choreographer, teacher and artistic and pedagogical director of International Scalène Danse (ISDanse), I hold professional diplomas obtained in Switzerland and France. With an international career on stage and extensive teaching experience, I offer personalized classical dance lessons, tailored to the abilities, morphology and goals of each student. Who are my courses for? I teach all levels, from beginners to professional dancers: • Children, teenagers and adults. • Amateurs wishing to discover or deepen their knowledge of classical dance. • Students in pre-vocational training. • Professional dancers wishing to perfect their technique and interpretation. • Future dance teachers and choreographers. A pedagogy derived from traditional elite schools My teaching is based on the French traditions and methods, Cecchetti, Bournonville, Vaganova, Légat and Balanchine. This approach allows for the development of a solid technique while respecting the physical characteristics, abilities and artistic personality of each dancer. I pay particular attention to body alignment, coordination, musicality, injury prevention, and the development of artistic expression. Disciplines and specializations offered • Classical technique for women and men. • Working with the points. • Female and male variations of the repertoire. • Men's technique: jumps, batteries, turns and virtuosity. • Russian academic tradition and Bournonville style. • Pas de deux and partnership work. • Character dance. • Mime and theatrical expression. • Stretching, flexibility and body preparation. • Acrobatic elements adapted to choreographic practice. • Choreographic composition and improvisation. • Preparation for auditions, exams and competitions. • Support for future professional dancers, choreographers and teachers. In-person, online, and hybrid courses I offer several learning methods, depending on the needs and objectives of each individual. In-person: individual lessons allowing for in-depth technical and artistic guidance. Via videoconference: pedagogical support, movement analysis, tailored corrections, work on musicality, interpretation and choreographic composition. In hybrid format: alternating face-to-face and remote sessions, allowing continuity of work and personalization of the training path. Distance learning complements studio work, but does not replace the physical supervision essential for certain learning, particularly pointe work, lifts, and acrobatic elements. Lesson duration: 75 minutes Unlike the usual 60-minute classes, my sessions last 75 minutes. This duration allows for the development of a structured session, including physical preparation, technical work, individualized corrections, and artistic expression. Internships and training courses I also offer: • Internships and masterclasses. • Technical and artistic development programs. • Preparation for auditions and competitions. • Pre-professional and professional support. • Training and educational advice for future teachers and choreographers. Each program is designed according to the level, objectives and specific needs of the person being supported. My vocation: To dance – To choreograph – To train.

My class is based on the famous Vaganova method. Therefore during our work we will focus on the correct technique of movement and its style, so you will learn not only how to do elements correctly but also will understand how to make your dance look beautiful and catching for audience. Also I stand for a positive approach in the educational process, because I am deeply convinced that this kind of attitude is one of the main keys to improvement.

The classes are aimed at the assimilation of technical elements with a biomechanical approach, focusing on the development of appropriate mechanics based on muscle chains and joint release. Knowledge of the objectives of the class sequences with a methodology broken down into the steps, theoretical and practical, will allow a more conscious execution in the long term, preventing short-term injuries. The importance of identifying body strengths and weaknesses individually, to program an exercise plan and overcome technical challenges in the development of a ballet class. Coordination, agility, resistance, stability, flexibility and proprioception will be objectives within reach during classes! Commitment and dedication will be our allies 🤗 There is always time to start with your dreams and goals, whether you are just starting out, you have been training for a while and you want to give your work a twist to the codes of classical dance from a more organic perspective or dance has simply been part of your life and you like to be active based on the psycho-physical benefits of this discipline. Together we can share the process of training from a different consciousness, attending to the body as a whole.😁
