BY OPINION PUBLIC

The contemporary dance company Opinion Public, anchored in the Belgian artistic landscape for over 13 years, is fully committed to its mission of transmission by launching its youth ballet, the “Junior Ballet Project” (JBP), dedicated to dancers aged 17 to 25. This initiative demonstrates a significant commitment to the training of a new generation of dancers, sharing the exploration of distinctive style it has developed since its creation in 2010.

PRESENTATION

The JBP, based in Brussels, is a two-year program designed to develop the versatility and unique artistic identity of each young dancer. From Monday to Friday, a diverse range of classes—including classical ballet, contemporary dance, breakdance, and other complementary disciplines—are structured to prepare dancers optimally for the professional demands of the dance industry.

Inspired by the hybrid style of the Opinion Public company, the JBP emphasizes exploring classical and contemporary dance techniques. This includes an in-depth focus on partnering, floorwork, acrobatics, and improvisation. These disciplines are brought to life through creation and stage experience, with at least one original piece created annually for the JBP, followed by a series of performances.

Other artistic and technical horizons will also be explored, with the participation of renowned professionals throughout the season, allowing this new generation of dancers to enrich their experience.

The cost of the training is €7,000 including VAT per academic year.
