On Thursday, we caught up with two of this year\u2019s 9 Brazilian candidates at the Prix: Leticia Domingues (one of the finalists),\u00a0and her colleague at Petite Danse School in Rio de Janeiro, Juliana Paiva. They had just finished coaching sessions and were relaxing in the backstage area:<\/p>\n

\u201cI have just had my first contemporary coaching this afternoon. It was great to have Christophe Dozzi (coach for choreographer Jorma Elo) explain the precise movement he\u2019s looking for with the help of the translator. He also touched on all the positioning on stage, so it was a really a good run-through.\u201d Leticia tells us.<\/p>\n

She adds: \u201cEverything is weighted equally here – contemporary and classic – so I\u2019m also finding the classical coaching excellent, we are given very useful pointers. For instance, how to negotiate the raked stage, so we can show ourselves in the best possible light.\u201d<\/p>\n

Juliana had finished her classical session for the day and had yet to do her contemporary coaching later that evening. \u201cMonique Loudi\u00e8res gave me some really useful tips on carriage of the arms, \u00e9paulement and also on musicality and overall artistry. It\u2019s great to work with such distinguished coaches \u2013 they have so much experience! Monique hails from Paris Opera Ballet which is such a prestigious institution: Grand Pas Classique is a French variation so it was great to have her coach me as she knows it inside-out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before arriving in Lausanne, Leticia had travelled to the Youth America Grand Prix pre-selections. \u201cI have been practicing the Copp\u00e9lia variation for quite some time, since last September! I\u2019m still working on perfecting it and Monique\u2019s pointers are really helping me out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Juliana is very impressed with her colleagues here at the Prix \u201cIt\u2019s been very different from training at home. The caliber of the candidates is so consistently high, I am very impressed with them. I am loving it here\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked about role models, Juliana and Leticia quickly agree on fellow Brazilian ballerina Cecilia Kerche. Plus Juliana adores the Royal Ballet`s Alina Cojocaru, while Leticia looks up to Jury member Tamara Rojo: \u201cShe is wonderful, we watch her on DVD a lot! When I found out she was a member of the jury, at first I couldn\u2019t really believe it, I was ecstatic!\u201d<\/p>\n

Do the girls have any favorite male dancers? Leticia says enthusiastically: \u201cIvan Vasiliev, he\u2019s fabulous! I saw him do the Don Quixote pas de deux in New York at a gala, his performance was unforgettable! He projects so much energy, I was in the last row and it still reached me.\u201d Juliana loves ABT\u00b4s Marcelo Gomes: \u201che taught us at school, he is a true artist \u2013 a pure class act!\u201d<\/p>\n

Summing up the week here in Lausanne, Leticia adds:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Prix de Lausanne has surpassed all my expectations. I have only ever seen the Prix through online videos. I never imagined I would be here one day. The studios, the organization of everything is wonderful. It is an invaluable experience for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
