Join the Prix des Hivernales Masterclasses!
For this 5th edition of the Prix des Hivernales, five exceptional international dancers, members of the jury and/or guest dancers at the Ballet Stars Gala “Les Hivernales”, will share all their wisdom and knowledge with the next generation of dancers!
Five exclusive masterclasses will take place throughout the day of the competition, on Saturday 21 March 2026, at the Académie Grétry, Place des arts 2 in Liège, just a few steps away from the Manège Fonck where the competition takes place. Our volunteers will show you the way to get there in just a few steps.
The classical masterclasses will be accompanied on piano by Isabelle Fontaine.
