Les Guirivoires Dance Company was founded and directed by Rose Marie
Guiraud in Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire in 1973. The company was originally composed
of students from Ms. Guiraud's private dance school, EDEC (Dance and Cultural
Exchange School). The majority of these dancers were disadvantaged youth,
orphans, war and street children who have been raised and
formed by Ms. Guiraud. Les Guirivoires was the first national ballet of Cote
D'Ivoire Before Ms Guiraud created Le Ballet National de Cote D'Ivoire in
collaboration with the late Mamadou Conde.
Les Guirivoires today is composed of those students who have been rewarded a
diploma or certificate by EDEC. These young dancers,choreographers,
percussionists, musicians, actors and singers, by developing their talents, have
been able to transform their lives into being stars of African dance, percussion
choreography and excellent teachers and examples for Cote D'Ivoire, West
Africa and in the World for the past three decades.
Les Guirivoires served as the first national ballet of Cote D'Ivoire before the
National Ballet was created Ms Guiraud in collaboration with the late Mamadou
Conde. The Guirivoires Dance Company is composed of a 60 members troupe
comprised of dancers, singers, actors, musicians, costume designers, set
designers, stage managers, music directors, hair dressing and makeup
designers. The Company was divided into three groups. The first group of 18
members travel internationally and the second group performs and travels
nationally. The youngest group in Abidjan, is Les Guirettes.

Guiraud, has gained national and international acclaim and has continued work
on television, radio and tours constantly. Some of the members of Les
Guirivoires have also developed through the guidance of Ms Guiraud,
leadership qualities which have enabled them to become ms Guiraud's key
collaborators in assisting with artistic direction and administrative duties at
EDEC today.

success touring worldwide from its creation in 1973 to present.
