about the intensive workshops

It is a great joy for my daughters to be back in classes . New Yorkers are back. Many thanks, Miss Nathalie.

 

High quality dance education. For amateurs and(semi) professionals. Wonderful team of teachers with great know how and incredible passion for dance.

 

The summer intensive 2018 at PMDS has been one of my best dance experiences ever. The energy, knowledge,passion for the art form, professionalism, and commitment of both teachers to their students from all abilities is palpable at every moment. Maggie Boogaart introduced to us Graham technique in such a captivating manner, that made us all an engaged, attentive and responsive group and we learned so much. Ghislain taught us the Balanchine technique with much care and attention to detail, and the positive results show very quickly. If you are a committed dancer, aiming to push your technique and artistry to the next level, this school is for you.

A big thank you to Nathalie for this wonderful workshop. Her teaching skills and enthusiasm worked wonders. You have restored my little girl's confidence.

 

Top-notch classes and workshops! Thank you to Nathalie for listening and offering valuable advice to both students and parents. She knows how to convey her passion and love for classical ballet. We can't wait for the end-of-year show to see the children with stars in their eyes!

 

This is my second time attending the summer intensive workshop. Ghislain is the best ballet teacher I have ever had. His class is scientific and useful. I learned a lot. The Graham class is a bit hard. Maggie's illustration is both powerful and beautiful. I will definitely come again next time.

I had the opportunity to participate in two three-week workshops: classical ballet Ghislain and contemporary dance with Maggie. Both are outstanding teachers. They not only teach dance techniques, but above all a vision and perspective on dance, the human body, and especially life. It's very moving!
Thank you again for this rich and intense experience!

 

I would like to give my deep thanks to Ghislain and Maggie for being the most amazing and outstanding dance teachers. This summer, with my 9 year old daughter, we danced at the Marais Dance Center for 2 months. As dance teachers, Ghislain and Maggie were very professional, inspiring, knowledgeable, passionate, creative, loving, patient and kind. They have so much love for their students. In other words, they teach from their hearts!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 I attended a full-time dance academy in Beijing from the age of 10 and was a professional dancer for 15 years. Among the many dance teachers I have met, Ghislain and Maggie are among the very best. Their beautiful spirits and pure love for dance are sure to inspire you. There are not enough words to express my gratitude to both of them. Ghislain and Maggie,thank you both very much again for your love for dance, for people and for life. Thank you very much for bringing so much joy and happiness through dance!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
