Always With You
More than ever, we feel the importance of art: its transformative power, the hope it carries. Uniting us through adversity and uncertain times, it transports us beyond our daily life, allowing us to dream, to travel.
During the time in quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we invite you to stay fit and keep smiling with our dancers! Follow along with home workouts and short videos shared from the comfort of their homes. Catch them live on Instagram or watch the replay anytime on Facebook!
Explore our past events to relive the experience.

5 questions with Éléonore Thomas, French dancer with Les Grands Ballets since 2016.
What is your favorite dance movement and why?

Tatiana Lerebours, dancer from Montreal, answers a few questions.
What are your occupations outside of dancing during confinement?
Staying in shape is a pretty busy job at the moment. Aside from ballet, I’ve been trying to take advantage of this time to cross-train, and practice injury prevention. I’ve also been trying to embrace some Québécois culture and learn some French! To relax, I’ll confess to binging some shows, playing some video games, or playing guitar.
