Watching the Prix de Lausanne

Prix de Lausanne is an elite international ballet competition for teenagers. They live together for a week in Switzerland, taking judged ballet classes, then performing in a final competition. The standard of their dancing is sky-high, and these are some of the most intense and exacting kids you’ve ever seen. The whole event makes The Black Swan look like Dance Moms.

It is absolutely fascinating to watch even if you’re not interested in dance. The quality of these kids’ performances is absolutely remarkable. The level of perfection achieved by their dance is breathtaking. Take a look.
