BY OPINION PUBLIC
PRESENTATION
The Junior Ballet Project (JBP) was created in September 2024 by Sidonie Fossé, artistic director of the Opinion Public company. This young ballet, dedicated to dancers aged 17 to 25, is a two-year program that immerses dancers in a work environment similar to that of a professional company. It provides them with the skills and experience needed to grow as artists and enter the professional dance world.
From Monday to Friday, the training program combines classical technique, contemporary dance, breakdance, partnering, floorwork, acrobatics, and improvisation, fostering both versatility and artistic maturity.
These skills are put into practice through creation and stage performance, with a new original piece produced each season, followed by a series of performances.
Other artistic and technical aspects will also be explored, with the participation of renowned professionals throughout the season, allowing this new generation of dancers to further enrich their experience.
The training program costs €7,000 (VAT included) per season.
