International Dance Day

On Friday, April 25th, from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., LADMMI, l'école de danse contemporaine, will open its studios to the public as part of Pas de danse, pas de vie, an event organized by the Regroupement québécois de la danse for International Dance Day.

For the occasion, the public will be able to observe various training sessions, creative classes and rehearsals of pieces that will be performed in the end of the year show.

Dance for joy!
Novices will be able to participate in a beginner-level class, and more experienced fans will have the opportunity to take an intermediate-level class in the company of first-year students in the professional training program.

Spaces are limited!
Only 20 spaces are available for the beginner-level class and ten spots in the intermediary class. Come early: first come, first serve!

Class description
Technique de danse contemporaine II, IV and VI:

An essential element in any dancer’s daily training, this class is designed to develop dancers’ concentration, perseverance and self-discipline. It is a key part of on-going training and acquiring the technical skills necessary in the profession. All technique classes are accompanied by live musicians.

Extraits chorégraphiques II and Interprétation II and IV:
These classes throw young dancers into a professional simulation because they reproduce the real conditions of preparing and producing a show. The rigorous structure of a professional team—artistic directors, choreographers, designers, musicians, etc.—help students acquire the skills they need to create and produce contemporary dance. This course requires many hours of rehearsal.
