Alice Renavand

In 1989, only a few months later, she was admitted to the Paris Opera Ballet School at the age of nine, receiving the support and friendship of Claude Bessy.

Further support came from Angelin Preljocaj in 2004 who allowed her to replace an injured colleague as Creüse in his Le Songe de Médée, giving her more confidence in her abilities.

[3] In the following year, she was given roles in Maurice Béjart's The Rite of Spring, William Forsythe's Approximate Sonata and The Vertiginous Thrill of Exactitude, Jiří Kylián's Bella Figura and Rudolf Nureyev's Don Quixote in which she performed The Street Dancer.

[4] In 2012, she was promoted to principal (première danseuse), performing the roles of Kitri in Nureyev's Don Quixote and the Mistress of Lescaut in Kenneth MacMillan's L'histoire de Manon.

In December 2013, she was elevated to the rank of star (danseuse étoile) after dancing the main female role for the first time in Preljocaj's Le Parc.
