In keeping with L'École de danse de Québec's commitment to producing well-rounded performing artists who possess valuable and relevant career management skills, each graduating class is required to realize an ambitious production project during their final year. The project culminates each spring in a professional concert of contemporary dance, which the graduating students bring through all aspects of creation and production, including costumes and lighting, fundraising, marketing, contract negotiations with guest choreographers and budget management. Graduating students who wish to do so can also choreograph a piece for the production. School staff provide guidance and supervision throughout the process, but ultimately, the graduating class is responsible for the success of the project both artistically and financially.

The final year production project always culminates in a fascinating series of performances that bear the imprint of a unique group of emerging contemporary dance artists who have striven to unite their individual energies and artistic visions into a coherent whole: their first professional concert of contemporary dance as young professionals.
