the Prix de Lausanne

Switzerland isn't exactly known for it's ridiculously amazing ballet training, but they do have the Prix de Lausanne, and I think that makes up for their lack of the Swiss versions of the Bolshoi Academy or SFB or something.
This year, the Prix was held from January 26th to 31st, and my parents and I went to see the finals. It was really incredible. It's this competition for ballet students ages 15-18 from all over the world, and they were really really amazing--it was pretty humbling, actually.
The boy who won was Argentinian, but he trained at the Houston Ballet School. He was really incredible--he won both the official Prix, and the audience vote!
