L'école supérieure de ballet du Québec
Professional Division
​
The Professional Program developed and offered by L’École supérieure is unique in Quebec. It provides a blend of professional ballet training and an academic program to students from Grade Six to third year junior college. Graduates receive a high school diploma (Diplôme d'Études Secondaires, or DES), followed by a college diploma (Diplôme d'Études Collégiales, or DEC) in classical dance and performance. The professional training provided at L’École supérieure meets internationally recognized classical dance standards. The artistic direction integrates the best of proven methods while staying abreast of recent developments in the dance world. The school’s Professional Program focuses on students’ overall physical, psychological, artistic, technical and academic development, and is geared to enhancing their flexibility, posture, muscle tone, balance and mastery of movement. The ballet courses include daily classes on variations, repertoire, pas de deux, folklore, contemporary dance, dance history, anatomy, and more. Instruction is regularly enriched by the presence of guest teachers from around the world. Classes in dance technique for boys are given by specialists. The annual dance performance in a Montreal concert venue provides students with invaluable stage experience and the opportunity to showcase what they have learned during the year.
