Today these two universes are only one for an accomplished artist.
The contest, for children 14 years and over, rewards candidates who have the ability to
express themselves in classical dance, with regard to technique, narrative and expression
and in freedom, creativity, and innovation in contemporary and modern-jazz.
The jury will be composed of recognized and authoritative personalities in the world of
classical, modern-jazz and contemporary dance. Their decisions will prevail and will be
without appeal. The jury will be the same throughout the weekend of the competition:
whatever the categories, disciplines and days.
The official names will be revealed some time before the competition via social networks.
This competition is intended primarily for students from schools already participating in
other competitions or those wishing to begin this experience.
Regular practice several times a week is required to ensure the best chance of success.
Our values are those of reaching one’s true potential through effort and hard work, but not
exclusively through competition.
