The video selection jury panel, consisting of nine professionals from the dance world, gathered in Lausanne last week to watch all video submissions for the Prix de Lausanne 2026.

There were 444 applicants (339 girls & 105 boys) from 43 countries who sent their videos. A total of 73 dancers (37 girls & 36 boys) have been selected via this process while 8 candidates had already been preselected*.

In total, 81 dancers (43 girls & 38 boys) from 18 countries were selected to participate in the Prix de Lausanne 2026.

“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.”
