10th International Junior Ballet Encounters
The International Junior Ballet Encounters take place every two years in Mougins and Cannes, bringing together the young dance talents of tomorrow.
One of Rosella Hightower's key educational ideas was undoubtedly the creation of a Young Ballet as a tool for the professional integration of her students at the dawn of their careers as professional dancers.
To continue this mission, the Pôle National Supérieur de Danse Rosella Hightower, under the artistic direction of Paola Cantalupo, invites dancers from other international Junior Ballets to share a week of work and present to the public their various repertoires and choreographic universes.
This year, the International Junior Ballet Encounters celebrates its 10th edition!
For this anniversary edition, the event will bring together junior companies and students in their final years of training from international schools:
- American Ballet Theatre Studio Company, New-York
- Ballet de l'Opéra Grand Avignon - Apprenti.es
- Ballet National de Marseille - Danseur.euses alternant.e
- Ballet Preljocaj Junior
- Canada's National Ballet School, Toronto
- Cannes Jeune Ballet Rosella Hightower - DNSP 3 PNSD Rosella Hightower
- Scuola di Ballo, Accademia Teatro alla Scala, Milan - Corso di Perfezionamento
From February 13 to 14, 2025, each junior ballet will present its repertoire, and on the closing evening, February 15, 2025, a mixed program will feature the participation of all the groups.
It is a unique opportunity to discover dance training at the highest level in different countries and to share the energy and passion of these young talents gathered for a few days.
