Description

We are pleased to announce the opening of official selections to participate in the Exclusive International Ballet Program 2026. Selected participants will have the opportunity to benefit from a tailored training program, limited to just 15 dancers. This will ensure a higher quality of work while exploring a unique repertoire, including works by the brilliant choreographer and director of the Basel Opera Ballet, Marco Goecke, as well as the renowned choreographer of the Royal Ballet in London, Sir Kenneth Macmillan. World-renowned guests will be present, including international ballet star Polina Semionova, former international guest star Robert Tewsley, in charge of the Kenneth Macmillan repertoire, and Veronica Segovia, a dancer at the Basel Ballet, who will work on Marco Goecke's repertoire. Thomas Gallus, director of the Exclusive International Ballet and international ballet master, will also be involved, alongside pianist Gaëlle Sadaune from the Paris Opera Ballet School. Participants will also have the opportunity to perform at the gala of La Nuit de la Danse, sharing the stage with invited stars and soloists for the occasion. Additionally, professional placements will be distributed to facilitate entry into the professional world and enable a first engagement with a national company.
