To make art accessible to everyone, AC Opéra Ballet Production promotes cultural inclusion and engages with underserved audiences and associations working for Disability by leading classes for children and adults with autism. It also creates opportunities for interaction through dance initiation and body expression workshops, allows children to attend show rehearsals, and organizes post-performance discussions in various regions with young people facing challenges.
The Théâtre de Vélizy-Villacoublay organized a cultural outreach workshop in partnership with Alexandra Cardinale to welcome the students of the Deborah Bourroux Dance School in the Auditorium hall. The participants were then able to attend the Gala d’Étoiles performance.

I am writing to share feedback regarding the tickets you generously donated to us.
All the attendees were delighted and extend their warm thanks. This type of initiative allows many women supported by these associations to step out of their daily routine, and the positive impact of access to cultural events is undeniable. Members of the Foundation team who were able to attend the performances also greatly appreciated them and would like to thank you as well. Below are a few messages of thanks from the associations that attended the performances.
Fondation des Femmes
En Avant toute(s) Association:
On our side, we found both performances fantastic! Great seats, high-quality shows, a perfect duration, and above all, ballets that were accessible and easy for everyone to understand.
They were truly wonderful moments for our teams.
Du Pain et des Roses Association:
Our beneficiary greatly enjoyed this outing to the Théâtre Libre in Paris. The experience was very positive, both in terms of organization and the quality of the performance, which proved to be both accessible and enriching. We would like to warmly thank you for this wonderful opportunity. This type of initiative has a real impact, and we would be delighted to stay in touch with you for any similar opportunities in the future.
Acceptess-T Association:
Thank you very much for the tickets. People truly enjoyed it.
Les Lesbiennes Dépassent les Frontières Association:
Our friends from the Les Lesbiennes Dépassent les Frontières network absolutely L-O-V-E-D both performances. If possible, it would be wonderful to attend again next year. Also, it was very easy to collect the tickets at the box office.
ADSF Association:
Thank you for this donation of tickets!! The ballets were greatly appreciated. Two different groups were able to attend the two performances, and each time it was a success. Most of the women had never been to the theater before, so it was a truly wonderful opportunity. It allowed them to think about something else and step away from their daily routine for a short while.
Le Filon Association:
Our beneficiaries really enjoyed the performances they attended. It was accessible for them, and we had no issues collecting the tickets, etc. A renewal of this type of donation would therefore be something we would welcome with great enthusiasm!
Invitation of students from Saint-Justin Middle School in Levallois-Perret
The importance of introducing our profession, sharing our passion, and engaging in discussion with the choreographer Julien Lestel before attending the performance of Misatango Boléro.
“Dear Alexandra,
I cannot thank you enough for your warm welcome, as well as Julien’s! Many of my students discovered the art of dance for the first time. They were absolutely delighted.
My student Marie, who is a dancer, shared how emotional it was for her to see you and speak with you, confirming her aspirations and dreams.
You have been a great source of inspiration for her and her classmates.
As a teacher, I was thrilled to attend this performance, powerful, intimate, and so profound.
A huge thank you for what you do. You cannot imagine the impact it can have on the imagination of young students.”
