Virginia Chevalier founder of Dance Performance

​

I started dancing at the age of 5 and made it my job.

I danced for more than 10 years as a professional classical dancer at the Bordeaux National Opera , the Royal Ballet of Flanders , the National Opera of Portugal and the Vienna National Opera.

Thanks to my classical dance training, a lot of analysis and work, I realized my dream.

I had the chance to learn and study classical dance with David Allen (star dancer) and  Claudine Kamoun (star dancer) at the Geneva Dance Center .

My apprenticeship was completed by numerous international internships mainly with Christiane Vaussard (star dancer), Rosella Hightower (star dancer), Christiane Vlassi (star dancer), Françoise Adret and Colette Armand.

But also alongside Arlette Castanier, Daniel Franck, Alain Davesne, Juan Giuliano, Cyril Atanasoff, Christian Conte, Bernard Aury, Atilio Labis and José Ferran.

​

My professional background has given me the opportunity to work with the great ballets of the classical repertoire as well as with many choreographers, which has considerably enriched my experience and my vision, such as:

Renato Zanella, Jiri Kylian, Mehmet Balkan, Robert Denver, Heidrun Schwaarz and numerous interpretations by George Balanchine, Hans Van Manen, Jiri Kylian  and Heinz Spoerli.

I was finally able to realize my dream by choosing the companies of my dreams!

​

Then the dream came to an abrupt end following a fatal injury, while I was on the rise.

The shock is tough and finding your way and your way in life without dancing seems impossible.

At that time, I would have liked to have been guided in my professional career in order to avoid this brutal fall and the loss of identity that I had to overcome, because I grew up and built myself with dance and nothing else was more important.

​

At that time, I could hardly move, my body was in permanent pain, so I decided to train myself in different techniques of muscle strengthening, rehabilitation to heal myself and be able to resume mobility and sport daily.

​

Today I decided to create  Dance Performance for a complete support which is essential for the training of a professional dancer. 

I wish to accompany you in your learning, to bring you everything that I have been able to learn during my experience so that you too can realize your dream .

Also I pass on all my knowledge to you to better preserve you physically and psychologically so that you can also prepare yourself. serenely following your career.
