Repetto's Comittment

A MISSION TO SERVE DANCE AND YOUTH

Since 2007, La Maison Repetto has been committed, through its Foundation, to making dance accessible to each one. Created under the impetus of Jean-Marc Gaucher, then President and CEO of La Maison Repetto, La Fondation Repetto works to make dance a driving force for personal transformation and a tool for self-fulfillment.

This year marks a turning point for the Repetto Foundation, which is pursuing its commitment to accessibility to dance and the transmission of its art with a new impetus built around inclusion, artistic creation and international outreach.

ITS PURPOSE

To make artistic expression and dance in all its forms, more accessible to underprivileged children and teenagers around the world, by enabling them to discover dance
and progress in the most favorable conditions.

To make dance a tool for personal growth and development, by encouraging young people to express and develop themselves through this demanding discipline.

Promote the discipline and values of dance among talented young people, by instilling in them the demands and rigor of this art form.

CONCRETE ACTIONS

Providing dance equipment
Leotards, pointe shoes, soft-pointe shoes, training outfits... The Repetto Foundation provides young dancers in difficulty with the equipment they need to practice dance in the best possible conditions. A concrete gesture to promote inclusion, self-confidence and a sense of belonging.

Supporting educational projects
We support schools, associations and cultural structures that use dance as a tool for education, transmission and integration. Each project we support shares the same vision: that of a future where art helps young people to grow, express themselves and blossom.

Through events, campaigns and meetings, the Foundation raises public awareness of the essential role of dance in the personal development, self-esteem and emotional balance of children and teenagers.
