Known for his unique dancing style that mixes strength and grace, he was named principal dancer at the Paris Opera in 2017 when he was only 23 – the company's highest rank. Marchand stopped by the FRANCE 24 studios to talk about his NGO "Hugo Marchand pour la Danse", which aims to make ballet more accessible.
