From Beatriz Consuelo concerning an advanced course given by Yann Aubert for the Conservatory of Sion, November 2004:

Mr. Yann Aubert asks his young students in their excercises, (excellent for the students) to have a strong understanding of technique, without forgetting the beauty, elegance, and ease in their movements.

Yann has gained very much sureness since his first course for admission. He is no longer an apprentice, he is now completely a professor.

Because of his stage experience, Yann has a global vision of dance when he gives his classes.
