The Monte Carlo Ballets company will also stay in Monaco for Carmen by Johan Inger before touring in France, Italy, the US and Hungary throughout February, March and part of April.

The dancers will travel again to Poland, Germany and Spain in May before returning to Monaco in June for the Gala de L’Académie. A key moment in the year with newcomers performing in the Salle Garnier for the first time, while Academy graduates take their final bow before joining an international company.
In November
In the meantime, the Monaco Dance Forum will take place on 14, 15, 16 and 17 November, staritng with the show “C’est beau !” by 6eSens and DK-Bel, where able-bodied and disabled dancers will perform together, thanks to a collaboration involving several non-profits such as AMHM (Association Monégasque d’Handicapés Moteurs), Monaco Disease Power, or A.M.A.P.E.I. “An indescribable experience that will stay with you forever,” the organisers promise.
You can also see Sol Invictus by Hervé Koubi. Halfway between hip-hop physicality and classical elevation Sol Invictus is “a declaration of love, my declaration of love for dance, its past, its present, its future.”
Also not be missed is the free screening of Carmen Jones directed by Otto Preminger.
