In Martigny, in the Swiss canton of Valais, at the foot of the Alps, AURI DANSE has opened its doors as a new dance school founded by Lauriane Salm, a classical dance teacher with more than fifteen years of teaching experience across different parts of the world, from Switzerland and France to Vietnam and the island of Mayotte, off the coast of Madagascar.

The project was created with a clear focus on providing demanding yet supportive dance education in a professional setting, where every student can discover dance and progress at their own pace. From the first steps of younger children to the more technical work of teenagers and adults, the school offers classical ballet, Modern Jazz and contemporary dance, following a teaching approach rooted in the French tradition and enriched by contemporary and international influences.

Design and functionality for everyday practice

The studio features an elegant, functional and bright practice space, with every element centred around dance. The main classroom is spacious and comfortable, with large mirrors, views of the surrounding mountains and a layout designed for everyday practice.

Our PINA ballet barres complete the space, offering great versatility for training thanks to their double-bar design and wheeled base. A total of eight linear metres of barre have been installed across five supports, which can be arranged according to the needs of each class while integrating naturally into the design of the building.

For Lauriane and her partner Vincent, the equipment needed to meet the demands of everyday practice while fitting seamlessly into the visual identity of the space:

“From the outset, we wanted to invest in professional, durable equipment. We were impressed by the PINA barres for their quality, stability and aesthetics. Now that the studio is up and running, we are really pleased with our choice: they have become an integral part of the space’s identity.”

Founder of AURI Danse Studio

With the opening of AURI DANSE, a new chapter begins for Lauriane Salm, and a new space for dance takes shape in Martigny. At Dinamica Ballet, we are delighted to be part of this new beginning and to contribute, with our ballet barres, to the school’s everyday practice.
