Shinshokan and the Prix de Lausanne

Steven McRae, principal, Royal Ballet (GBR), and Prix de Lausanne prize winner in 2003

“Dear Dancers, I wish you all the best for your time at the Prix de Lausanne! I learnt so much during the competition. Talking to people, watching other dancers and working with new teachers allowed me to grow as an artist! The competition will be another chapter in your life so enjoy the journey and perform your heart out!

Best wishes,
Steven McRae”
