V\u00e9ronique D'Abat\u00e9<\/h3><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

V\u00e9ronique began her training in Tap and Jazz at the age of 9. Immediately enthralled, she began training in classical ballet at L’\u00e9cole Pierre-Laporte, followed by L’\u00c9cole Sup\u00e9rieure de Danse du Qu\u00e9bec. Throughout this training, she was also a performer with the Classique\/art\/Jazz contemporary dance company, directed by Johanne Boivin (Ballet Jazz de Montr\u00e9al) and France Dufresne (Eddy Toussain). During her time with the company, she worked with such renowned teachers and choreographers as Howard Richard, Fran\u00e7ine Liboiron, Marc Forest and Jean-Jacques Pillet. She then made the leap to urban dance, joining the Urban Dance Society (U.D.S.) directed by Marvin Baptiste. She then flew to Mexico to dance in productions such as The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast and Moulin Rouge. On her return, she undertook the \u201cInternational Visa Program\u201d at Step On Broadway in New York City. There she trained with choreographers such as Joe Lanteri, Rapsody, Brian Freedman, Jay T and many others. On her return, she joined the ranks of the UNKUT Production Company, directed by Alexandra \u201cSpicey\u201d Lande. With this company, she danced in several events, including the famous Choreograher’s Ball (in NY, Toronto and LA), and alongside artists such as Jabbawockeezs, Chamilionnaire and Flip mode Squad. V\u00e9ronique has also danced on TV shows such as En direct de l’univers, La VOIX, Chanteurs Masqu\u00e9s and the Gala Artis, as well as at festivals such as the Festival de Jazz, Juste Pour Rire and Les Francofolies. She was also a cheerleader for the Montreal Alouettes. She has danced in several Op\u00e9ra de Montr\u00e9al productions, including Rusalka, Manon, Turandot and the famous opera Carmen. She also danced on tour for several years with the Famous Live Band. She has just returned (for the second time) from a contract in Saudi Arabia where she danced for Assala and Majid Almohandis at the famous Riyad Season festival 2022\/23 and has just returned from a trip where she danced at the Billboards Music Awards Arabia for artists such as Elyanna, Faouzia and Faudel. V\u00e9ronique has also been a recognized choreographer and teacher for over 20 years, both in Canada and internationally. She has choreographed for many festivals and shows, including Cirque du Soleil’s One Drop Foundation, the St-Sauveur Arts Festival, Revolution Season 4 and for singer \u00c9l\u00e9onore Lagass\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Isabelle B\u00e9langer<\/h3><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]Isabelle started dancing at the age of 5. At 15, she began substitute teaching and 3 years later she officially launched her teacher career. She knew from the start that her heart belonged there and in 1995, following an internship in New York City, she decided to dedicate herself to teaching. At 21, she partnered with two of her friends and opened a dance school. After modest beginnings and dissociation with her partners, she decided to make an investment and move Studio 360 into a 2000 square foot location. Her students then doubled and 5 years later, their 2000 square foot building was too small. She invested with her partner and they purchased a 10 000 square feet building. Five years after that, Studio 360 has 5 large studios, more than 800 students and has won several first prizes in regional, provincial and international competitions. Despite the many responsibilities brought on by her dance Studio, Isabelle does not lose sight of her dancing and teaching training. She takes dance classes year round and advanced training once a year with celebrated teachers such as Mia Michaels, Brian Friedman, Wade Robson, among others. Her teaching philosophy at Studio 360 is : students must receive the highest quality of training. She ensures her teachers excel in their respective discipline. It was with great pleasure in 2010, that she associated with cofounder V\u00e9ronique D\u2019Abat\u00e9 to create Bravissimo.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”1966″ img_size=”large” style=”vc_box_circle_2″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” bg_type=”bg_color” bg_color_value=”#f6f7fa” css=”.vc_custom_1562097439038{margin-top: 70px !important;margin-bottom: 70px !important;padding-top: 70px !important;padding-right: 70px !important;padding-bottom: 70px !important;padding-left: 70px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”1964″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ css=””]
