I started blogging here back around 2012–2013, when I was still a student at the Paris Opera Ballet School. Feeling quite lonely, and a little lost, I didn't speak much French, and found myself among students for whom this world was native. I wanted to journal my thoughts and what I was going through.

A very important milestone for me… Not only because it’s one of the mythical roles in classical ballet—a role people often see me in—but also because I had a painful... Continue Reading →
One of the major challenges I set for myself in 2024 was completing an International Wealth Management certificate course at AUREP, a leading institution in Clermont-Ferrand. Balancing my commitments—dancing at the Opera, meeting with my clients at PerformanceS by EMD, and studying—was quite intense. But I recently received good news: I passed the exam! For...

This has been a special season, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Theatres were closed for a very long time and we started performing again at the Palais Garnier only in May 2021. At first, the number of audience was limited. However, the theatre is now allowing its full capacity again. The Paris Opera Ballet started... Continue Reading →
After more than a year and a half, the curtains are up again at the Paris Opera ! We're performing Roland Petit's "Le Rendez-vous", "Carmen" and "Le Jeune homme et la Mort" in Palais Garnier, and Nureyev's "Romeo and Juliet" in Opera Bastille. In the past week, the South Korean dancer Sae Eun Park was... Continue Reading →
