Candidates selected for the 2010 Prix: A record number of 226 candidates (153 girls and 73 boys), representing 36 different nationalities, applied to participate in the video selection that took place last October 17-18. The assessing panel for the qualifying round of the competition was made up of the Prix's artistic committee, with support from a group of dance experts, each of whom meets the criteria for membership of a Prix de Lausanne jury. The names of the artistic committee members and the jury selection criteria can be found here and here. Following this process, the panel have selected 81 young dancers, representing 21 different nationalities, to go through to the next stage of the competition, which will take place in Lausanne from January 26 to 31, 2010. You can see who they are here. Unique in the Prix de Lausanne history: there will be more boys than girls at the 2010 competition (38 girls and 43 boys). In addition, two candidates were selected at our pre-selection session for Latin American dancers, organised by Danzamerica in Argentina. They are Giglio Wilma Haydee and Belen Villalba Ana. Two more candidates, prize-winners from the competition in Seoul, will participate in the Prix de Lausanne without going through the DVD selection. They are Cho Hee Won and Jeong Han Sol. We would like to congratulate all these candidates and wish them all the best for their preparation in the next coming months.
