Classes and coaching #1

The Prix de Lausanne is one of the biggest dance competitions in the world. Reserved for dancers aged between 15 and 18, it attracts candidates from all over the world to the shores of Lake Geneva every year. The prize for the winners is a scholarship and the chance to join a prestigious dance school.
