For the non-awarded candidates, the Prix de Lausanne organises the Networking Forum on Sunday, February 4th. This gives the dancers the opportunity to still have the chance of being selected by representatives of our partner schools and companies. Therefore, the Networking Forum makes the competition worthwhile for all participants.
