Monick Hilz biografy
Student dancer at 16½ years old, Monick obtained a first price at the conservatory of Nancy, city of birth. A teacher with a passion and generosity, this is how his students describe Monick.
I trained in Paris at the Ballets Russes school with 1st Master Serge Lifar. I was a dancer at the Paris Opera, I worked with Yvette Chauviré, Mesdames Rosanne and Nora Kiss. I went through the Moscow Bolshoi where I was a student where I participated in a ballet. I finished Soloist, first dancer. I arrived in Biot in 1975. And in 1976, the mayor Mr. Camatte opened the municipal school. Biot was a lesson in life, I have seen many colors and I have no regrets. I learned a lot from children. I had up to 200 students of all ages in the classical course. I organized folk shows. I used to study young boys in sports. I am proud of my career and especially of having accompanied two successful students: Eugénie Andrin, international choreographer and Emmanuelle Durrieu, dancer at the Avignon Opera. I made beautiful human encounters in Biot, Patricia Armigliato is one of them, a student of classical dance, then president for 11 years of the Terpsichore association where on retirement I could continue to transmit my passion, dance. Dance is the school of life, of rigor and discipline and above all a great satisfaction, a lot of emotions and joy. Today at 89 years old, I continue my passion THE CLASSIC DANCE and say with a broad smile, I have spent more time at the bar than in my kitchen.
