Born in 2002 in the suburbs of Paris, Inès fell in love with dance while watching a documentary on the Paris Opera Dance School. She then took classes at the “Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Paris“ for a year before being admitted to the Paris Opera Dance School at the age of 9 and a half. Inès took all her classes in the French school’s pure tradition. A tireless worker, she has shaped her body little by little, to erase what she called her imperfections. She had the chance to take on her first solo roles in “Raymonda” and “Spring and Fall” by John Neumeier, as well as the leading role in “Les deux Pigeons” by Albert Aveline.
With her schooling completed in 2019, she joined the Corps de Ballet at the Paris Opera Ballet, when she was only 16 years old. She will be promoted to Coryphée in April 2021, after her first Concours (postponed due to the strikes) and to Sujet in the wake of the second Concours, just 6 months later. In 2023, following a remarkable rise, Ines was promoted to First Dancer by José Martinez and has since established herself as a leading soloist.
Since this appointment, Ines has received several distinctions, including the Cercle Carpeaux Prize and the AROP Prize, and has enjoyed numerous opportunities both at the Opera and internationally. She has performed major roles from the repertoire at the Opera, as well as leading roles in ballets by William Forsythe, David Dawson, and Christopher Wheeldon. Internationally, she notably performed the Ballerina in “Études” by Harald Lander as a guest with the Hungarian National Ballet (2024), Odette/Odile in “Swan Lake” with the National Ballet of Santiago Chile (2026), and Kitri with the Cape Town City Ballet (2023), in addition to various international galas.
In December 2021, Inès was invited to perform at the Gala The Hivernales de la Danse as part of a close collaboration with the “Exclusive International Ballet Program“, an international workshop directed by Thomas Gallus and Robert Tewsley. Each year, an exceptional student is rewarded with an invitation to perform at the Gala The Hivernales de la Danse. Inès was the winner of the first edition.
