Alice Renavand

After studying dance at the Conservatoire de Saint-Cloud, Alice Renavand joined the Paris Opera Ballet School in 1990, then the “corps de ballet” in 1997, at the age of 17. She was promoted to “coryphée” in 2004, “sujet” in 2005 and “première danseuse” in 2012. In 2008, she was awarded the AROP prize. She was appointed principal dancer on 20 December 2013 following a performance of Le Parc by Angelin Preljocaj. During Indochine's Black City Parade tour, she danced in the video for the track ‘Wuppertal’ screened during the concerts, as well as on stage at the Stade de France during the two concerts organised by the group. She bid farewell to the Paris Opera in 2023 in Maurice Béjart's Boléro, but has since continued to perform on international stages and at events such as the opening ceremony of the 2023 Rugby World Cup alongside actor Jean Dujardin.

Teaching is also part of her new life, notably as part of the educational missions set up by the Ecole de danse and the Académie of the Paris Opera.

Alice Renavand was appointed Chevalier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and Chevalier of the Ordre National du Mérite
