The Princess Grace Academy, which trains the world’s elite dancers, began classes on Monday 13 September.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

8 to 10 successful candidates out of a pool of 10,000 applicants… That’s the average admission rate<\/a> at the Princess Grace Academy! The reason why the selection process is so strict is that this classical dance school teaches rigour and excellence to future ballerinas on the international scene.<\/p>\n\n

However, this year, 19 new students have had the incredible opportunity to join the Academy, with a rare turnover rate of around 50%. “I have students from Mexico, New Zealand, the United States, Korea… We have 16 nationalities and 41 students this year,” said a delighted Luca Masala in a report by Alexandra Pani for Monaco Info<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

A studious start to the new school year and upcoming performances\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n

Students at the Princess Grace Academy will have the opportunity to progress with the arrival of two new teachers: Carsten Jung, former principal dancer with the Hamburg Ballet, and Lisa Jone, former dancer with Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Do you want to discover the grace and lightness of apprentice dancers? Don’t miss the Les Impr\u00e9vus ballet, scheduled for November at the Atelier des Ballets de Monte-Carlo. In December and January, the students will perform in Jean-Christophe Maillot’s Casse-Noisette Compagnie for the end-of-year celebrations at the Grimaldi Forum.<\/p>\n\n
