By taking part in this evening, you are supporting dance, investing in the success of Ballets Jazz Montréal and contributing directly to the birth and life of our next key work.

The Evening Will Unfold as Follows ...
ACT I: An immersion into the heart of creation
You'll experience an exclusive, intimate moment as you witness an exclusive excerpt from Joie de vivre , our new choreographic work by Jo Strømgren; a fragile, powerful moment in which the dancers and the entire artistic team reveal themselves without artifice, offering dance in its purest state, under construction before your very eyes.
A rare and powerful moment - You'll witness a dance in full construction, without set or artifice, where every movement is still being shaped.
Privileged access - See the dancers, artistic director and choreographer in the midst of the creative process, discover their work, their adjustments and their physical and emotional commitment.
A meaningful commitment - Your presence that evening goes far beyond a performance: you become a player in the development and innovation of Ballets Jazz Montréal.
ACT II: Celebrate with us!
After this creative immersion, it's time to celebrate and meet new people! The effervescent cocktail party will be an opportunity to strengthen the bonds that unite us. We're preparing the evening to offer you a simple but touching moment of celebration, in the presence of the entire artistic team.
Inspiring encounters - Chat with the dancers, choreographer Jo Strømgren and the artistic team, in a bright and friendly atmosphere.
A festive atmosphere - Chef Caroline Dumas (Restaurant Bloomfield) has imagined a festive Joie de vivre menu, accompanied by Fromages d'ici and a selection of SAQ wines. In a bright and friendly atmosphere, enjoy the presence of the team and dancers, inspiring discussions and a festive ambience. And of course, to extend the experience... the dance floor awaits you!
Lively music by MightyKat - MightyKat is an internationally renowned DJ from Quebec and a member of the celebrated Listed agency. With 25 years in the business, MK is one of the first female figures on Montreal's electronic music scene. Citing jazz, disco, and soul among her primary influences, her refined sonic signature is recognized as a unique symbiosis of eclectic house and the funkier side of techno. Her love of the dance floor inspires her to take the crowd on a unique journey whenever she's on the decks.
A signature cocktail - Be the first to taste BJM's signature cocktail, Bulles Jazz MTL, a sparkling creation with vibrant notes of blood orange, specially created for the event. A tribute to the energy, passion and creativity of the evening.
Surprises to discover - Because every exceptional moment has its share of emotions, expect a few surprises...
