École supérieure de ballet du Québec

The school is located in central Montreal in the Plateau-Mont-Royal borough, a few yards from the Laurier subway station.

Since 2010, the ESBCM is directed by Anik Bissonnette, whose professional credits include being principal dancer with Les Grands Ballets Canadiens many years.

In 2011, the school was renamed L'École supérieure de ballet du Québec to reflect its role in dance development in Quebec.

Established in 1980, the Jeune Ballet du Québec is an apprenticeship troupe that introduces freshly graduated students to the world of professional dance.

The Jeune Ballet du Québec commissions works by several contemporary choreographers, demonstrating that a dancer with classical training is able to perform any style of dance.
