Centre Chorégraphique de Strasbourg

What Centre Chorégraphique de Strasbourg does

The Centre Chorégraphique de Strasbourg (CCS) is a public municipal dance education institution established in 1963 in Strasbourg, France, and classified as a Conservatoire à Rayonnement Communal by the French Ministry of Culture since 2008. The Centre delivers amateur dance education to children (from age 4), adolescents, and adults across multiple disciplines — classical, contemporary, jazz, hip-hop, capoeira, African dance, Latin dancesport, flamenco, swing, and contemporary physical theater — through a structured three-cycle Conservatoire curriculum and a flexible open curriculum (Cursus Ouvert). Operations span three sites and eight dance studios in Strasbourg (six studios in the Art Nouveau Palais des Fêtes plus annexes at Bon Pasteur and Neudorf), with five of six main studios accessible to people with disabilities.

The Centre's product portfolio further includes complementary somatic practices (Pilates, Yoga, Feldenkrais, Qi Gong, Barre à Terre, Postural Stretch, Movement Medicine, Sophro'Danse), advanced training through the Ensemble Chorégraphique for students aged 16-18+, and seasonal intensive programs (EnCorps summer camp, urban culture and musical theater holiday stages). Eight partner associations host classes within CCS studios under their own registration and pricing structures, extending the curriculum without adding CCS-direct staffing. Technology is limited to standard physical studio equipment; there is no proprietary software, API, AI, or digital product.

Revenue is generated primarily through municipal public funding from the Ville et Eurométropole de Strasbourg, supplemented by progressive annual tuition fees set by elected city officials to maximize accessibility. The Centre employs 9 staff and does not publicly disclose its budget. From the 2026/2027 school year, the Centre is being formally integrated into the Conservatoire de Région, consolidating administrative procedures under a single regional conservatoire structure. The Mayor of Strasbourg (Catherine Trautmann) serves as Directrice de la publication.

Broad incumbents
