THE PROGRAM PREPARES DANCERS FOR THE PROFESSIONAL STAGE

The eighth edition of the dance program led by founder and artistic director Andy Michel Chadary concluded with brilliance. In front of an enthusiastic audience, dancers of all ages delivered intense performances, combining energy, creativity, and passion.

This year, the show’s central theme was “musical evolution.” The choreographies paid tribute to the great figures of pop and R&B from past decades: Beyoncé, Usher, Christina Aguilera, among others. A variety of dance styles illustrated the richness of these musical worlds.

“We can feel that the audience is satisfied, and the dancers gave all their energy. It was excellent,” said Marine Leica, a former participant who became the evening’s host.

This year, the program welcomed participants aged 16 to 42, with a remarkable new feature: the creation of a section dedicated to dancers aged 30 and over. An initiative that highlights the desire for inclusion. “Dance is for everyone,” Marine reminds us.

More than just a show, the program is designed as an intensive training aimed at preparing dancers for the professional stage. For several months, participants train in different styles, developing versatility and discipline.

The results are impressive: some former members now collaborate with Cirque du Soleil or Cirque Éloize, while others perform on television shows such as Revolution or Chanteurs masqués. James, from the first cohort, even continued his career in Los Angeles.

The event stands out for its collective spirit. “It’s not a competition, but a show. Everyone shares the fruit of months of work. The program is my second family,” emphasizes Marine Leica.

Beyond stage performance, the project focuses on personal development. The long hours of training — sometimes from noon to midnight — strengthen both physical and mental endurance. “Dance is the future. It’s an art, a sport, a way to surpass yourself,” Marine insists.

As this eighth edition comes to a close, the team is already preparing for the future. While nothing has yet been confirmed, organizers suggest that a ninth edition will take place, with the same goal: to provide a platform for emerging talent and to make dance shine.

As a final message, Marine addressed the dancers and the public: “Believe in yourself. Life is short, have fun, do what you love. It always comes through in the end.”
