     Beuchamp's father and grandfather were musicians. Pierre started his dance and music training at age 8 and continued for 6 years and by 1848 was taking major roles in court ballets. Later he would become a dance master, Chorographer and maitre de danse / dancer for King Louis XIV who he would teach for twenty- two years.

     The King Louis XIV gave him the title of "Compositeur des ballets du Roi" after the passing of Prevost until 1719. Later Ballon would replace Pierre on his passing. Beauchamp would play a major role in the development of dance for his own generation as well as the future. Beauchamp is credited for inventing the five basic foot positions in dance. Pierre's nephew, Blondi Beauchamp was also a dancer who danced with Camargo.
