please help my ignorance (I am not a dancer). What is the Prix de
Lausanne. I would be intested in seeing them if it is between Jan.
27th and Feb. 1st.
Joachim,
The Prix de Lausanne is a competition for young ballet dancers who
are on the verge of making dancing a career. As well as a
competition with prizes of scholarships to well known dance company
schools, it is a bit of an expose for the dancers with various
"talent scouts" in attendance.
Age is limited to 15 to under 18. This year there are 119
registrations from around the world, eg 11 from Australia, 16 from
France but, surprisingly only 4 from the USA. Unfortunately the
finals and prize giving is on the 2nd Feb.
There is a chance I (and a dancer of course!) may be there next year.
