The Alouettes class is recommended for young dancers aged 9 years and older who have two to three years of experience in Canadian-French dance. It is designed for those who have already acquired a foundation in gigue and traditional formations. According to the Canadian-French dance program developed by La Girandole (2003), Alouettes is at Level 3 and covers the four aspects of folk dance: dance, gigue, music, and culture. The Alouettes classes are part of the full-season program, which includes two shows: the Christmas show and the annual show. This year, the Alouettes class will be paired with the Zéphyr Junior class to allow for better teaching according to skill level.
