Junior Ballet Project

JUNIOR BALLET PROJECT BY OPINION PUBLIC The contemporary dance company Opinion Public, anchored in the Belgian artistic landscape for over 13 years, is fully committed to its mission of transmission by launching its youth ballet, the “Junior Ballet Project” (JBP), dedicated to dancers aged 18 to 23. This initiative demonstrates a significant commitment to the training of a new generation of dancers, sharing the exploration of distinctive style it has developed since its creation in 2010. PRESENTATION The JBP, established in Brussels, is a two-year program offering a variety of classes from Monday to Friday. It is designed to develop the versatility and unique artistic identity of dancers, thus preparing them optimally for the professional demands of dance. Inspired by the hybrid style of the Opinion Public company, the JBP offers an exploration of classical and contemporary dance techniques, including in-depth analysis of partnering, floorwork, acrobatics, and improvisation. These various disciplines will be put into practice through experiences in creation and on stage, with at least one piece created each year for the JBP, followed by a series of performances. Furthermore, additional artistic and technical horizons will be explored, with the participation of renowned professionals throughout the season, thus allowing this new generation of dancers to enrich their experience.
