Christophe Béranger ’s ballet technique is based the mix of French and American ballet school, working on musicality, rhythm and space. On his experience first with Pierre Lacote, dancing the big repertory, and later bringing the fluidity and the work of weight through his experiences of néo classical (Balanchine, Armitage, Duato, Forsythe) ways of including ballet technique through the work of arms and long expansion of the back, opening of the space and partnering.

Jonathan Pranlas-Descours ‘ contemporary class result of his training at PARTS – Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker, based on release technique, influenced by Trisha Brown, Limon technique and the American school, releasing the weight of the body through the spine and moving in space. A special attention is done to the function of the arms through the spine and emphasis of the connection between floors and space. Phrases combining floor work and release standing material, combine with jumps and spaces scores.
