We are a Registered Charity
Welcome to the official website of ZemmourBallet, a private foundation dedicated to excellence in dance.
Founded in 2019 in Sherbrooke by Nicolas Zemmour, ZemmourBallet quickly established itself as a major player on the Quebec and international arts scene. As a private charitable foundation recognized in Canada, our mission is to create, present, and support innovative choreographic works while making dance accessible to all.
Our work and creations are guided by three core values:
🔹 Excellence: guiding every production and collaboration to push the boundaries of dance.
🔹 Accessibility: providing a wide audience with the opportunity to discover and experience choreographic art.
🔹 Integrity: in our artistic commitments, relationships with artists, and contribution to cultural development.
Our artistic approach is distinguished by “thick” dance, a signature that blends form, meaning, and emotion to offer deeply human and impactful experiences. Through our creations, we aim to captivate hearts and minds, producing performances that resonate with audiences long after the curtain falls.
Based at the Centre des arts de la scène Jean-Besré, our foundation is recognized as a cultural organization by the City of Sherbrooke. We support artists by providing a structured environment in which they can thrive and create, while strengthening the connection between dance and the community.
Our mission is clear: to innovate, inspire, and enrich the choreographic landscape through diverse collaborations and ambitious projects. By fostering emerging talent and building bridges between art, society, and humanity, we actively contribute to the evolution of dance.
