Founded under Louis XIV, not only the Sun King, but also the dancing King, the Dance School of the Paris Opera celebrates its 300th birthday! For three hundred years, the Ballet School has carried out its mission: to pass on its traditions to the artists of the future. Besides the demonstrations, the performance evokes the French school and its evolution.
