***
Patricia Cottavoz's dream was to combine dance and piano.
This dream has come true thanks to the association of 2 pianists, 2 choreographers and 5 dancers who make notes and arabesques twirl in an original musical ballet.
Ada RAMZEWS, choreographer.
Ada, born in Germany, became artistic director of the Ballet Munich dance company. In 2011 she launched her own choreographic creations: solos, narrative ballets, opera productions, etc. She holds 2 Masters degrees in dance pedagogy and culture and media management, and is currently pursuing doctoral research into multidisciplinary approaches to management and the arts.
Grégory CIANCI, choreographer
A dancer, teacher and artistic director, in 2021 he founded RSBCie to develop the concept of a springboard company preparing young dancers to seek contracts with major national and international structures: opera houses, theatres. He revisits the repertoire of French and international ballets and creates original works in both neoclassical and contemporary styles.

Whether playing 2 pianos or 4 hands, driven by the same taste for sharing, they have in common a vision of lively, accessible music, geared towards exchange and shared emotion.
