End-of-Year Production
All of our students – from our youngest to most advanced – participate in a spectacular end-of-year production, the capstone of their training accomplishments each year.
Artistic Director Claude Caron created four productions for the school: Oz, Pan, Alice and Maleficent. Classes perform group choreographies together on stage as characters from these stories, alongside select students performing lead roles. These stories are brought to life on stage using rich multimedia projections, enchanting music, colorful costumes, props and our dancers’ exciting performances.

Back to Bach: An unforgettable night
An Enchanted Fusion of Music and Dance
March 17, 2024
L'École de Ballet Ouest brilliantly presented Back to Bach, a show that highlighted the exceptional talent of our Enriched Program students and the Competition Team. This evening was an opportunity to celebrate classical music through dance, offering performances that combined grace and technique.
Our young dancers performed Bach's compositions with impressive mastery, while the Competition Team captivated the audience with dynamic and precise choreography.
Back to Bach was more than a spectacle; it was a celebration of art, bringing our community together around the passion for dance. We warmly thank everyone who shared this evening with us and look forward to seeing you at our next events.
Our Students Shine for the 40th Anniversary of BO Montréal
FEBRUARY-MARCH 2024
During the celebration of BO Montréal's 40th anniversary, our students dazzled the audience by opening BO Montréal shows. With La Mer, a work specially created by artistic director Claude Caron, they offered an unforgettable performance during the premiere and the finale. This piece, reflecting the depth and beauty of the sea, highlighted the talent and passion of our young artists. This unique opportunity not only allowed our students to demonstrate their talent in front of a large audience but also marked a proud moment for our school. Celebrating both our heritage and the promising futures of our students, this event will be remembered as a symbol of our commitment to artistic excellence.
