The Cannes Jeune Ballet Rosella Hightower is one of the PNSD's pedagogical tools, which allows students to develop their stage experience in real conditions. Created by Rosella Hightower in the early 80’s, the CJB brings together students from the last year of pre-professional higher education (DNSP class 3). During this training year, the students prepare their National Higher Professional Diploma (DNSP) as a dancer, confronting the reality of the choreographic artist's profession and developing their personal involvement in this path.

The Cannes Jeune Ballet Rosella Hightower's repertoire evolves every year with a selection of repertoire ballets, creations by young choreographers, filming or creations of the most famous choreographies.
