- After decades spent dancing with the National Ballet of Canada, Guillaume Côté will be retiring following the 2024-2025 season. The Canadian dancer and choreographer joins Tom in studio to tell us why it’s the right time to move on, why he’s starting his own dance company with a new production of “Hamlet,” and how ballet dancers are expected not just to dance through intense pain, but to look graceful while doing it.

I was a personal trainer to two of the Royal opera house’s principal dancers a decade or so ago and they were retiring at 27, as their joints were almost smashed from the inside out as well as their ankles , toes and spine. The extreme high performance dance takes such a toll that retiring in your 30’s let alone 40’s is really good and bravo to him for his work and good luck for the future.
Thank you Tom Power for this wonderful interview covers a wide range of subjects, revealing unsuspected aspects of Guillaume Côté's bio and impressive career. This artist is a living treasure!
Thank you Tom for this interview. Guillaume is amazing. I hope him and his team bring back Hamlet soon. It was such an amazing show ❤
I genuinely squealed with delight when I saw this video posted. I absolutely adore Guillaume and everything he's done for the ballet community. I met him once years ago and he was incredibly friendly and welcoming. A true Canadian treasure.
Fantastic interview!
How exciting!
