Louis Dupré (French pronunciation: [lwi dypʁe]; 1697–1774) was a French ballet dancer, ballet master and ballet teacher.

Leben

Probably first dancing in child roles under the name "Petit Dupré", he made his official débuts at the Royal Academy of Music in 1714 and became its balletmaster in 1739. From 1725 to 1730, he regularly put on productions in London, Dresden and at the Polish court. Until 1743 he was one of the principal professors at the dance school of the National Opera of Paris, where his students included Marie-Anne de Camargo, Gaétan Vestris, Jean-Georges Noverre,^[1] Maximilien Gardel and Jean-Baptiste Hus.

Casanova was one of his devoted admirers. Technically accomplished, he was an emblematic figure of French belle danse, and in his time he was called "le Grand Dupré" and "god of the dance".

Collège Louis le Grand

He composed several ballets for the students of the Collège Louis le Grand:

1748 : Portrait du Grand Monarque
1749 : Catilina
1750 : Le Temple de la fortune
1751 : Le Génie
1754 : Les Spectacles du Parnasse
1755 : La Prospérité
