Beginner Ballet for Strength, Flexibility, Posture, & Grace

Genevieve was born in Montréal, Canada and started dancing ballet at 6 years old. She joined the professional dance program at age 9, at l’École Supérieure de Ballet du Québec, one of the most prestigious dance conservatories in Canada. She trained with M. Daniel Seillier, Mme Francoise Vaussenat, former soloist from l’Opéra de Paris, and Alexandra Wells, former dancer at the Boston Ballet and Etoile at the Ballet de Nancy. She performed principal roles in several ballet productions in school. Before she graduated at age 19, she already secured a Corps de Ballet contract with Les Grands Ballets Canadiens and danced several seasons with this prestigious company, performing corps de ballet and demi-soloist roles in various ballets, from classical to neo- classical, including ballets from Petipa, St-Leon, Fokine, Balanchine, Tudor, Joss, Forsyth.

After leaving the company, she started teaching ballet in various ballet schools in Montréal, while studying Fine Art and Music at universities. She is now settled in Groton, where she teaches ballet at Tufts University and at Acton School of Ballet. She is also a private ballet coach and has successfully trained dancers for Youth America Grand Prix and Universal Ballet Competition.

She is eager to share her love of dance with the Groton community, and she believes that ballet is the perfect exercise to develop balance, strength, flexibility, posture, and grace at any age!
