Run by Élisabeth Platel, the Paris Opera Ballet School presents its movie Pas d’école. With this video featuring the 2020-21 Season School Demonstrations filmed inside the school and without audience due to the sanitary crisis, the spectators will discover the daily training of the students s well as the different classical ballet steps.

Thanks to their teachers’ help and corrections, the students are taught how to refine their technique and give life to a dance repertoire as they rehearse, to live piano accompaniment, various sequences from the works of the Paris Opera Ballet.
