Prix de Lausanne 2009
Lausanne, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – For the first time ever more young men than women will compete in the Prix de Lausanne dance competition 26-31 January. A record number of dance students, ages 15-18, tried out for the competition in October, most by video: 226 candidates (153 young women and 73 young men), representing 36 nationalities.
The cut leaves 81 young dancers, from 21 countries, who compete for scholarships and invitations to pursue studies in some of the world’s top classical dance programmes.
