Classes and Coaching #8

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.

 

37 girls and 36 boys are taking part in the 2026 edition of the Prix de Lausanne. Follow their progress throughout the week, from classes and rehearsals to the selection rounds and the final. Six intense days, during which our young candidates go all out to prove themselves.
