Since its creation, many of the ACM’s students have joined major national and international companies. Currently, dancers from the professional training program are performing all over the world: Ballet of Bordeaux’s National Opera (Ballet de l’Opéra National de Bordeaux), Balett Zürich (Zurich Ballet), Oldenburg State Theater (Staatstheater Oldenburg), Varna Opera, Plovdiv State Opera, San Diego Ballet, Scottish Ballet, Catalunya Ballet (Ballet de Catalunya), Nice Ballet (Ballet de Nice)…
Major schools have also opened their doors to some of the Academy’s students. For example, for the 2022-23 season, two students are at the Paris Opera, three students are at the CNSMD in Paris (Paris Academy/Conservatoire de Paris), one student is at the English National Ballet and one student is at the Munich Ballet Academy (Ballett-Akademie München).

“Thanks to the mutual trust between Carole Massoutié and myself, the professionalism
of the academy and the help of all the teachers, when I was 15, I was able to make my dream come true by participating in the “Prix de Lausanne” and pursuing my professional dance career abroad.”

“Joining the academy may have been the little bit of luck I needed to realize my potential and make my dream become reality. My five years there taught me not only how to dance, but also work values that I shall never forget and that will continue to guide me, wherever life takes me.”

“It was a very nice experience for me to participate in the Junior Company, because it was the first time for me to work in a real company, and the first time to live in French. We got many opportunities and we could participate on comeptitions. After a half year in the Junior company, I moved in Bulgaria,in Plovdiv because I got my first contract as a professional dancer. My journey was a little compliceted, I danced also in Sofia National Ballet, and these year I started with State Opera Rousse. What I actually can say, that no matter where we are, the important who we are, what we can give for the people around us and what make us happy. Carole is for me a great inspiration, beacause she give the most to the students what she can, and organize many courses and events. Thank you that I could be a part of your work “

“Being in Compagnie Françios Mauduit Junior Company for 3 years allowed me to perform all over France and in many different ballets. I had the most amazing time being part of this Junior Company and I would recommend it to anyone who be interested in going. As I am now a ballet teacher for many different ages, I am using my knowledge I got from Françios and all the other guest teachers for help my present school”

“Lors de ces trois années au sein de la junior company j’ai pu parfaire mon expérience scénique et découvrir ce qu’est le métier de danseur professionnel. François a su me transmettre son amour inconditionnel pour la danse et m’a permis de partir vivre mon rêve aux États-Unis pour poursuivre ma carrière de danseuse professionnel “

“Je vous remercie pour toutes les spectacles, la chance et les classes que vous m’avez données. Sans cette expérience à Toulouse, je ne suis pas ici maintenant en tant que danseuse de ballet professionnelle. Vous me manquez! Et si j’avais le temps, je voudrais suivre la classe ou voir le spectacle ! Encore merci beaucoup! Prenez soin de vous et de plus en plus de succès à vous !”
