Place des Arts

Introducing our Place des Arts Alumni Series, where we reconnect with former and long-time students to learn how their experiences have shaped their artistic journeys.

Take a closer look at the Place des Arts' Ballet programs via the experience of Charlie Cranston.

Since transitioning from competitive dance approximately eight years ago, Charlie has been studying under the guidance of Lucienne Anczykowski. Swipe to learn more about how the ballet program at Place des Arts supported her technique, nurtured her creativity and confidence, while helping her maintain a healthy balance in her training. ➡️
