Charles-Alexandre Bernard (17 May 1724, Antwerp - 15 June 1807, rue de Vaugirard, Paris), known as Charles Bernardy, was a dancer, choreographer and dancing master.
From October 1752 until Palm Sunday 1753, Bernardy and his wife directed the theatre at Ghent, where she had already dancing in the preceding season (in Prince of Orange's troop).
Ribou and Baptiste, actors from Ghent and Brussels, had already moved to that theatre and would surely have sung Bernardy's praises to its intendant comte Durazzo.
Called to Brussels as ballet-master for the 1763–1764 season, Bernardy put on the ballet Rhœcus ou les Hamadryades at the Théâtre de la Monnaie, premiering on 29 May 1763.
From 1775 to 1780, the troupe put on shows at Amiens, Cambrai, Strasbourg, Colmar, Paris (at the "théâtre des Petits Comédiens du Bois de Boulogne"), Angers, Le Mans, Aix-en-Provence, Toulon, Marseille, Dijon, Passy, Saint-Quentin, Antwerp and Brussels.
