Through studio recording projects with soloists and orchestras, as well as masterclasses and artistic direction sessions with musicians from the chamber music courses, students learn to communicate and convey ideas to the performer, in line with the artistic and technical issues at stake. At the end of this course, they will be able to arbitrate and react quickly, armed with a method and confidence in the choice and implementation of sound recording devices.

The classical dance taught at the Conservatoire is inherited from the French dance practised in Western Europe since the 17th century, whose founding technical and aesthetic principles are en-dehors and aplomb, a spirit of rigour and a concern for elegance and clarity.

What makes men's ballet so special is the extreme virtuosity and complexity of the gyrations and jumps, while maintaining clarity and elegance at all times.

Since 1661, with the creation of the Académie de Danse by Louis XIV, men's dance has continued to evolve. Known as the Danse Noble, it is a codified dance, influenced by the artistic and stylistic currents of each era right up to the present day. The specificity of men's ballet lies in the extreme virtuosity and complexity of the gyrations and jumps, while maintaining clarity and elegance at all times. As well as mastering the great variations in the repertoire, the classical dancer must be an excellent partner.

The Conservatoire continues this tradition of training versatile dancers, basing its teaching on the French and Russian schools.
