6th Edition - DansEncorps

 JOCELYN PARADIS, CLASSIQUE Born into a family of musicians, Jocelyn trained in figure skating for five years
before discovering dance in his native Quebec City. Before long, he was
admitted to Montreal’s l’Académie des Grands Ballets Canadiens where he
trained with such prestigious teachers as Daniel Seillier, Christine Clair and
Fernand Nault. From 1984 to 1991, he was a full-time member of Les Grands
Ballets Canadiens, dancing the repertoire of such illustrious choreographers
as James Kudelka, Fernand Nault, Lar Lubovitch, Danny Grossman and
Ginette Laurin, among others. His most memorable role was as principal
dancer in James Kudelka’s The Rite of Spring. Though he still performs
annually with Les Grands Ballets Canadiens in Nault’s version of the
Nutcracker, he went on to perform with several companies and
choreographers including the Fondation Jean-Pierre Perreault and the Danse
Partout Company. Jocelyn recently calculated that during his performance
career, he has danced over 800 performances with seven companies in
seventeen different countries. He has been teaching at L’EDQ since 1999 and
is currently working with students of the professional and the recreational
divisions.

Originally from the Saguenay region of Quebec, Mario has been an authorized
teacher of the Simonson jazz dance technique since 1983. Teaching jazz and yoga, as
well as choreographing and dancing for over 25 years, Mario has lived and worked
mainly in New York, Toronto, Chicoutimi and Quebec. From 1990 to 1999, he
created pieces for his Toronto-based company, LeBlonDanse, many of which were
presented at such events as Toronto’s Fringe festival. Upon returning to Quebec in
1999, he continued to explore a creative process guided by a multidisciplinary
approach in which musical comedy, theatre arts, music, song and theology all coexist. Mario was invited to teach jazz dance for L’EDQ's Recreational Division in the
autumn of 2004. He also teaches young students of the Danse-Études program.
