REFLECTING ON PRIX DE LAUSANNE\u2014CONGRATS TO THIS YEAR\u2019S WINNERS!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 53rd edition of the prestigious Prix de Lausanne took place in Lausanne from February 2-8. Recognized as one of the most important competitions in the world, this event once again brought together promising young talent and iconic figures from the world of dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the week, the candidates performed on a Harlequin Liberty\u00ae LatchLoc<\/a> sprung floor with a Harlequin Studio\u2122<\/a> vinyl floor in the temporary studios at the Beaulieu Theatre to help protect the health of young dancers by reducing the risk of injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Prix de Lausanne: A Competition with a Jury of Former Winners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year a total of 87 young dancers were selected from 429 applicants across 40 countries for their technical excellence and artistic potential. Every year the jury consists of nine individuals, with the majority being former winners of the competition or well-known figures from the dance world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the week, candidates take classes under the guidance of renowned teachers, with the jury closely observing their progress, technique, artistic development, and potential for future growth. In addition, candidates present both a classical and a contemporary variation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c9lisabeth Platel, Director of the Paris Opera Ballet School and classical dance teacher for the Prix de Lausanne from 2019 to 2025, said: \u201cFor me, the Prix de Lausanne is much more than just a competition; it is a meeting of artists. The teachers and directors are established artists, and the candidates are budding artists. It\u2019s above all about discovering new talent. It is a week of exchange, in respect of our art, with the hope of seeing future long careers in the making.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harlequin Dance Floors: Injury Prevention <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many years, Harlequin Floors has supported the Prix de Lausanne by ensuring optimal dance conditions for the candidates. The shock absorption in the sprung floor allows dancers to jump and land safely, reducing the risk of injury. This, combined with the slip-resistant Harlequin vinyl floor, provides the dancers with an optimal dance floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations to the Candidates and Winners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A huge congratulations to the 2025 winners: YounJae Park (South Korea), Eric Poor (USA), Shinnosuke Yasuumi (Japan), Hanxi Wang (China), Hector Jain (USA), Ryan Handa (USA), Hono Hamasaki (Japan), Bogyeong Kim (South Korea), and Jakob Wheway Hugues (UK). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations to all participants for their exceptional talent and hard work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
