The American Academy of Dance

The first American dance school in Europe, the American Academy of Dance in Paris (AADP), teaches ballet, jazz, contemporary dance and tap to youngsters and older pupils up to the age of 19.

In 2006, AADP chose Harlequin to equip their 5 studios with 450 m2 of Harlequin LIBERTY™ sprung floor covered with beige Harlequin STUDIO™ and Harlequin FIESTA™ vinyl floors.

Under the supervision of Brooke Desnoës, ex-pupil of the Alabama Ballet under Dame Sonia Arova and Sir Anton Dolin and later, teacher at the Washington School of Ballet, the originality of the classes has attracted a large number of students of which 60% is French.

Testimony of Brooke Desnoës

“When we moved to Rue du Cherche-Midi, we contacted Chantal Lagniau, General Manager of Harlequin Europe, about equipping our studios. She remembered us from 2000 when we were a little-known dance school in Paris. Harlequin was very professional when we worked with them the first time around and they have once again proven that the quality of their service is unparalleled!”
