For this 4th edition of the Prix des Hivernales, five exceptional international dancers, members of the jury and/or guest dancers at the Ballet Stars Gala “Les Hivernales”, will share all their wisdom and knowledge with the next generation of dancers!

Five exclusive masterclasses will take place throughout the day of the competition, on Saturday 22 March 2025, in the “La Scène” area of B3, Place des arts 1 in Liège, just a few steps away from the Manège Fonck where the competition takes place.
