Dominique Larose Invited to
2010 Prix de Lausanne Competition
The Ayako School of Ballet is very proud to announce that one of their Students, Dominique Larose, has been invited to participate in the 2010 Prix de Lausanne. It’s a great honor to be given the opportunity of being a part of one of the world’s most prestigious dance competitions. It is held in Lausanne, Switzerland, and will
take place on January 26 – 31, 2010. The Prix de Lausanne was created in 1973 and it is an international competition for young dancers. Its chief goal is to discover, promote and support talents among the world’s finest young dancers.
The dancers are not only evaluated on their current achievements, but also on whether the panel observes the potential they believe necessary to successfully pursue a dancing career.
Dominique Larose is one of the 81 young dancers representing 21 different nationalities that were finally selected. Dominique is one of the youngest candidates to compete in the2010 Prix de Lausanne and one of three American female dancers invited to participate.
Dominique is 15 years old and she has been a dancer since the age of three. For the past nine years she has been dancing under Ayako Takahashi’s direction. She is very excited and honored to be invited to the Prix de Lausanne. In 2009 she won the honor of top senior female dancer and received highest score for her solos and Pas de Deux in each of the following ballet competitions: the ADA (American Dance Award)), IDC (International Dance Challenge) and Showstoppers. She was also invited to an international competition in New York to dance and compete at YAGP (Youth American Grand Prix).
We congratulate Dominique on this great learning experience and great opportunity to demonstrate her wonderful skills among the world’s best young dancers, and we wish her the best of luck in Switzerland!
