Senior Selections
Prix de Lausanne 2026223 min
Available until 05/02/2029
After four days of classes and coaching, it’s time for the older candidates (17-18) to face selection. Who will impress the jury and make it into the final?
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.
For the selections, each candidate must present a classical and a contemporary variation to a panel of experts, selected from a list provided by the Prix de Lausanne. It's a chance for them to demonstrate the full extent of their talent and range.
After the senior candidates’ performances and before the announcement of the finalists, the Young Creation Awards 2026 will be announced. The Young Creation Awards promotes contemporary choreography by enabling five young artists to present their work to the Prix de Lausanne jury. Two of them will have the honour of having their work included in the repertoire of the next edition of the competition.
