The video selection jury panel, consisting of nine professionals from the dance world, gathered in Lausanne last weekend to watch all video submissions for the Prix de Lausanne 2025.
There were 445 applicants (354 girls and 91 boys) from 42 countries who sent their videos. A total of 75 dancers (38 girls & 37 boys) have been selected via this process while 11 candidates had already been preselected*.
In total, 86 dancers (44 girls and 42 boys) from 22 countries were selected to participate in the Prix de Lausanne 2025.
The video selection stage is always an exciting and moving moment. What a thrill to discover all these young dancers from so many countries! I am very proud to present the highly talented dancers selected for the next competition, whom we will support with all our care and professionalism over the coming months.
