California Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I don't see this posted anywhere else. A live stream (in very high quality so far) of the finals of the Prix de Lausanne just started at 9 am EST: http://concert.arte.tv/fr/finale-du-44eme-prix-de-lausanne Marcelo Gomes is one of the judges and Cynthia Harvey has been coaching the women in their variations.

CTballetfan Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Thanks, California, for this link. I watched all the classical pieces and some of the self-choreographed ones. This was a real treat for me. A few of the dancers really stand out for their technical skills, musicality, and personality. To put a word in for the American dancer, Madison Young, she looks like she could fit in right now in the NYCB corps--I loved that she communicated not just the steps but a true feeling for the role. Go Madison! Link to comment

Go Madison! I loved the young man from South Africa. Both his classical (from Fille) and his contemporary pieces were amazing. Link to comment

Yes I agree with Kaysta. He has so much talent, energy and personality. I ended up watching the whole thing and he won a bunch of prizes, including audience favorite. Madison took second place and a scholarship to Houston Ballet. Love to see her at NYCB in the future. Link to comment
glissade_jete Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Just to clarify...Madison took second prize, but she's currently dancing with Houston Ballet II. I think they have a bit of time before they announce what scholarships/apprenticeships they may be taking. Loved Laura Fernandez! It's wonderful to see dancers return to the Prix for a second year and do so well! Link to comment
