Jackie Parrad Dance

Jackie's Story

From the Moulin Rouge to the Riviera

For a decade, Jackie led the line at the Moulin Rouge, dancing twice nightly for audiences from every corner of the world. Head dancer is not a title you are given. It is one you earn every single night.

Now based in Nice, she passes on what she learned: the kick line discipline, the famous can-can, the posture and poise of a Paris revue, and the confidence to own a stage. Her students do not just learn steps. They learn to perform.

For Parents

Your daughter is in safe hands

Sending a teenager to France is a big decision. Here is how we look after every student.

Supervised around the clock

Students live in a supervised residence with adult staff on site day and night. No student is ever out unaccompanied.

Airport to airport

We meet every student at Nice airport and see them off at the end. Parents get arrival confirmation the moment we have them.

Checked staff

Every adult working with students is background checked and trained in child safeguarding.

Daily updates

A private family group with daily photos and news, plus a direct phone line to the programme lead.

Age-appropriate throughout

Costumes, choreography and music are chosen for young performers. Glamour and theatre, always tasteful.

Small groups

A maximum of [12] students per intensive, so Jackie knows every dancer by name.
