Footage from Day 5 of the Prix de Lausanne 2026 featuring the Senior Category selection rounds, filmed on February 6, 2026, in Switzerland and broadcast on ARTE Concert. The Prix de Lausanne is a significant international ballet competition held annually near Lake Geneva, designed for male and female dancers aged 15 to 18. Winners receive scholarships to continue their training at prestigious ballet schools worldwide.

During the selection phase, competitors perform both a classical variation and a contemporary variation chosen from a prescribed repertoire set by the competition organizers. This stage allows the jury to assess the versatility and expressive capability of the young talents.

In the 2026 edition, thirty-seven female candidates and thirty-six male candidates participated across the competition week, which documents their development through classes, rehearsals, selection rounds, and culminates in the final performances.
