Who really danced their way to the top at Prix de Lausanne 2026? In this video, I’m breaking down all 14 winners – variation by variation – looking at technique, artistry, musicality, and what made each dancer impossible to ignore. As a former New York City Ballet soloist and coach, I’ll show you the details the jury looks for, the risks that paid off, and the choices that made these dancers scholarship and contract material. *Footage courtesy of @PrixdeLausanne and @arteconcert .
Finals Livestream: youtube.com/watch?v=gQ3TkScO6CU&t=9809s
In this video you’ll learn:
• The key technical strengths of each 2026 winner (turns, jumps, placement, control)
• Artistry choices that set them apart – musical timing, épaulement, character work
• Common patterns among the winners (what the jury clearly loved this year)
• Takeaways you can use in your own variations and competition prep

Welcome to a world where ballet isn’t something you have to train for - it’s something you can live. I’m Kathryn Morgan, former New York City Ballet soloist, entrepreneur, and your guide to a more elegant, intentional, ballet-inspired life.
For over a decade, my subscribers have trusted me to translate the beauty, discipline, and storytelling of ballet into everyday inspiration. I’m not here to be your technique teacher - I translate 20 years of professional ballet elegance into accessible beauty, lifestyle, and cultural content for sophisticated women who value timeless grace over fleeting trends. I’m here to bring ballet to you, and then bring you into ballet through honest insights, real stories, and a lifetime of experience both onstage and off.
