Vancliffen Arts Foundation

We are honored to introduce the Vancliffen Arts Foundation, which will support us for the third edition of our competition.

About

The Vancliffen Arts Foundation was founded in 2004 as a Canadian federal non-profit and charitable organization with an international mandate, accreditations, and recognitions. Its primary objective is the promotion of the arts and arts education, primarily classical ballet.

Through scholarships, cultural exchanges, workshops, and other educational programs such as testing and continuing education programs for teachers, we focus not only on student guidance but also on providing information, guidance, and support to parents of children seeking professional careers. All of this is part of our commitment to supporting these young students.

The Vancliffen Arts Foundation has made their dream come true. We continue to support these young people who, through their love of beauty, their creativity, and their desire for personal growth, enrich not only their lives, but ours as well.

FONDATION ACOSTA

Founded by Carlos Acosta, the Acosta Dance Foundation (ADF) nurtures the next generation of exceptional dancers through world-class training rooted in the Cuban Ballet School, Técnica Cubana and enriched by contemporary and Afro-Cuban influences.

Its flagship Acosta Advanced Training Hub (AATH) offers full-time, academy-level programmes for dancers aged 16 and above, preparing them for professional careers. ADF also hosts Summer Intensives and seasonal workshops, welcoming international participants for immersive experiences with leading teachers and choreographers.
