ABOUT US
EBB JUNIOR BALLET EUROPEAN is an organization with ten years of trajectory, whose vision is to support the creation and dissemination of dance, as well as to promote its artists and professionals.
The company, led by choreographer Jean-Philippe Dury, is a comprehensive and internationally- oriented project to promote education, professional inclusion of young dancers, and the development of artistic creativity.
​
Our training programs arise from recognizing the need to objectively and effectively prepare dance performers according to the quality, versatility, and knowledge guidelines required by today's international choreography and major dance companies.
Our goals are:
➢ Discovering individual talent.
➢ Guiding young students in their artistic development.
➢ Equipping them with technical, creative, organizational, and teamwork skills so that they can face, decide, and embark on a beneficial artistic career. ➢ Being a platform to promote the professional integration of young artists. ➢ Preparing the performer in a context of personal and professional development that demands mobility, creativity, internationality, and multicultural coexistence.
➢ Creating a specific repertoire for the performances of our Junior Ballet.
