Geneva Dance Center

The Geneva Dance Center, directed by Samantha and Julien Allen Bancillon since 2009, was founded in 1980 by Claudine and David Allen. It is a classical dance school, which includes a section reserved for anyone who wants to dance without pursuing a career, as well as a professional training section.

The school has trained many young people who are now dancing in the world's leading companies. The school's priority is the teaching of classical ballet.

• Classical ballet, from age 7
• Introduction to classical dance from age 5

The Geneva Dance Center has three studios, including one measuring 200 m² and another measuring 100 m², equipped with floating floors covered with special linoleum suitable for ballet, and a 45 m² Pilates studio. Changing rooms and showers are available for students, and there is a parking lot directly accessible from the school. There is a shopping center and cafeteria on the ground floor.
