Repertory

Welcome to the online archives of Dances Patrelle. We are proud to showcase more than 18 years of works by world-renowned choreographer Francis Patrelle, as well as other choreographers of dramatic dance that dP has produced. Here, you will find comprehensive descriptions of each performance, along with an archive of photographs. In the future, we also plan to include short promotional videos for each production.

We are in the process of converting our materials to digital format, so some of your favorites ballets may not yet be represented. Not to worry. We have not forgotten them. As soon as we have more materials ready, we will post. Thank you for your patience and enjoy!
