Our Actions - Alexandra Cardinale

5-12 & 13 JULY 2025 / 13 & 14 SEPTEMBER 2025 – INTRODUCTORY CLASSICAL DANCE WORKSHOPS – ALEXANDRA CARDINALE – Hangar Y MEUDON

DANCE FOR ALL

As part of the Cultural Summer program, Alexandra Cardinale initiated and led three free 1.5-hour masterclasses in the Atelier of Hangar Y, an exceptional venue nestled in lush greenery.
These workshops allowed all participants (from age 7 and up) to discover the daily life of classical dancers: training, alignment, musicality, discipline, and above all… the joy of dancing, with the desire to make dance shine everywhere and for everyone.

Through simple, progressive, and caring exercises, participants were able to explore movement to music, work on posture, connect with the ground, and experience the sensation of lightness.
Alexandra designed this workshop to pass on her knowledge, share her passion, and open classical dance to all bodies and all backgrounds.
