The 2026 edition of the <\/strong>Prix de Lausanne<\/strong><\/a> has officially concluded, celebrating a week of exceptional young talent at the <\/strong>Beaulieu Theatre<\/strong><\/a> in Lausanne.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 78 candidates who took part in this year\u2019s Selection rounds, 21 dancers progressed to the Finals. The Jury, chaired by Kevin O\u2019Hare<\/a>, Director of The Royal Ballet<\/a>, selected fourteen Prize Winners<\/a> who will now receive scholarships to join one of the prestigious partner schools or companies associated with the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more than five decades, the Prix de Lausanne<\/a> has provided a global platform for young dancers to transition from training into professional careers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harlequin Floors: Supporting Performance at the Highest Level<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harlequin has supported the Prix de Lausanne for a number of years, reinforcing its long-standing commitment to the next generation of dancers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stage at the Beaulieu Theatre was equipped with a Harlequin floor<\/a>, providing a consistent and reliable performance surface throughout the week.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This same commitment to quality extended behind the scenes, where three rehearsal studios within the theatre were fitted with Harlequin sprung<\/a> and vinyl<\/a> floors. These professional surfaces created a safe and supportive environment for candidates to rehearse and prepare, enabling them to train confidently, maintain technical precision and perform at their best throughout long and intensive days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
