Join our Friends’ club!

Thanks to our new location in Brussels for the Estivales de la Danse, which will take as a Ballet Stars Gala at Bozar on Thursday 3 July 2025, we’re aiming to grow our audience, and we’re delighted that our Friends’ club will continue to grow, enabling new encounters and new synergies.

Over the years, the Hivernales de la Danse Festival has succeeded in establishing itself in the Belgian cultural landscape by promoting the values of Excellence, Prestige, Transmission and Education. These values guide our day-to-day activities, and are reflected in our various affiliated projects: the Ballet Stars Gala, International Training Courses, the Prix des Hivernales, the Hivernales’ Book, Masterclasses, open stages, etc.
