Health & Performance Team

In April 2022, the Health and Performance team was established to ensure and guide the care, well-being and performance enhancement of the dancers of the Ballets de Monte-Carlo and the Académie Princesses Grace.
 

THE PROJECTS

Two projects:

•  In house projects: The company dancers
  Support and assure the dancer's daily health challenges with the health team and outside consultants and optimise their performance.  
   
• External project: the global impact
  Using the connections and opportunities available to the BMC and its international health team to serve the greater good of the dance profession. Our initial project is the Dancers COVID-19 survey to appreciate the effects of the pandemic on professional dancers throughout the world and to support dancers and the dance field on a local and global level.
