L'École de Danse is a French television adaptation of Carlo Goldoni's theatrical comedy, centered on a dance school in Florence where young performers struggle under the authority of their demanding master. As financial problems threaten the school, the arrival of an impresario creates new pressure and new possibilities for the dancers.
The production uses ensemble comedy, theatrical misunderstandings and romantic subplots to tell a story about young artists seeking independence. Denis Podalydès, Éric Génovèse and Florence Viala lead a large Comédie-Française ensemble.
L'École de Danse is available through France Télévisions' digital platform, with access outside France subject to territorial restrictions.
