My recent experience has been rows ABC 50's and 60's of the Amphi so don't know about legroom in the 40's!! But as I'm fairly tall .....could be an issue I suppose. Which day are they for?

But only slightly more central.....honestly not much in it I'd buy at least one of whichever you return possibly two ......do you have any takers?

Did he win in 2006?

Quite extraordinary dancing....brilliant! Thankyou for posting this. I have never seen him dance for real yet.

Yes he was lovely too but my "South American" turned out to be Shogo Hayami from Japan!! When I saw the finalist earlier today there were no names given ......though they are there now.......just watched again ....but obviously I don't know my Japanese from my Portuguese/Brazilian/ Spanish et al!! Really I thought ALL the candidates were good in the contemporary pieces and I really liked the choreography for all the pieces this year but my favourite was "Solo for Diego" I think it's called to the Greek music. I think there is a lot of humour in this piece which could be brought out more even. Anyway they have announced that they will be putting all the candidates solos.....not just the winners ones....on YouTube next week so will catch up with others then.

Hi Billyelliott Ive just checked and it is working from their Facebook page so you can catch up with the finals now if you haven't already. Interestingly their names are coming up now before they go on ......which they weren't when watching earlier!! Strange. Just to say I thought Julian Mackays classical solo was superb too. I'm going to find the name of the contemporary boy I thought was very good today ......he looked South American but not sure.

Billyelliott if you go their FACEBOOK page and scroll down a bit you should see what they call the 43rd Prix Selections(for the final) It's very irritating though as nobody tells you the names of the candidate about to dance so unless you recognise them you won't have a clue I remembered some of their numbers! ......though they're not wearing them in the finals of course......So then had to look up who they were on the candidate numbers sheet but didn't know all of them and one of the boys doing the contemporary I thought was very moving.......not the actual contemporary prize winner ......though of course he was brilliant too .......and being judged overall in the competition not just on that particular performance. Hope it works for you I'll check it now too!

No this was the catch up of this mornings finals!! Can't find Fridays at all......will email them!!

So well done to Harrison Lee for winning the main scholarship at the Prix. I voted for him for the Audience Prize hoping he would get something but has done even better than expected. I did manage to catch up with all the final performances a few minutes before all the announcements were made luckily though that meant missing the professionals performance. What struck me so much was when watching the same choreography with different dancers in both the girls and boys sections how each of them managed to bring something different to my attention ......from within the music.....so even though Ive seen the pieces several times Ive suddenly been drawn to a particular movement or emphasis in the music that I didn't notice before. To me that shows just how talented these youngsters are......already turning into artists. In this series in fact Ive actually enjoyed the contemporary bits more than the classical bits. Beautiful classical dancing though from Harrison ....and he and another boy........there were no names given to the candidates in the catch up I was watching......made me cry in the Greek music contemporary piece. Just got to see Fridays Livestream now but could do,with a day off myself now!!

I'm still having an hysterical laughing fit Taxi just can't stop at mo......too much Prix de Lausanne I think!!!! Actually some of them are quite big but agreed a bin bag is a bit above requirements

This is wonderfully cheering news CeliB he must have been so mad with himself for not quite pulling off his classical bit ......well for the jurors ....I bet it's pretty good anyway........IF ONLY I COULD SEE IT! .......and the other performances . Perhaps they are intending bringing this out as a DVD so won't be able to watch it for free now!! I'd still buy it though!! I don't usually comment on people's DS and DD other than their dancing but I just can't help thinking that little Bianca Scudamore (102) who has made it to Finals is just the sweetest little girl! Just want to pick her up and hug her whenever I see her talking. I guess I'm showing my lack of children/grandchildren side

That could be me calling my partner to deal with some spider or other! Am intrigued though hope it's not a deceased bird or mouse or rat!! Do they have cats next door?

Oh dear I thought I might be able to catch up on yesterday's Livestreaming selection event but some sort of message comes up about having some patience while something (a different version?) is being made available. Well been patient for nearly 24hours now and nothing doing Has anybody else tried to watch yesterday's selection Livestream with any success? Ive normally being accessing everything via their Facebook page.

Two years ago I struggled through the snow on bus and train to my dentist appointment in Lewes only to find a notice pinned on the door to say that unfortunately all the appointments that day had been cancelled due to the dentists not being able to get to the Practice!! I just went down the road to Bills for hot chocolate!!

Yes agree about the Koreans I thought number 418 was sure to go through but he didn't .....but there you are. I'm assuming in South Korea they do have a more Russian style training. I know our Brighton teacher I'm pretty sure did some teaching there some years ago now though.

So glad Harrison Lee got through! And Ive had my eye on both the girls Rebecca Blenkinsop and Bianca Scudamore so great for them too! There's a great range in ability of candidates in this competition as some of the younger ones have only just got Intermediate level so obviously their potential is what is being spotted. No luck this time for your son CeliB but he will go far in the future I have no doubt about it at all! It's a bit sad when the finalists are announced in a way as you can sense so many of the others will be disappointed after having worked so hard but no doubt will have gained in confidence in other ways from the experience. What a thing to look back and say you took part in! Now to catch up with it all I think my partner would like to parcel me off to a hotel for the week when this is on so perhaps next year Lausanne for the week?

Oh dear I thought it was only the finals they were completely Livestreaming so have missed the older boys classical selections. I just hope they show on YouTube tomorrow now!! They are all so talented and I can see its a pretty exhausting week with all the different classes and coaching sessions and then keeping up with general practising and remembering what the coaches have said to you and so on. It's sometimes difficult when you are tired to keep positive all the time but most of them are being extremely mature about it all wonderful to see in such young people

He is looking fine and confident enough to ask a question which is great......but I would particularly like to see him doing something more classical as he does excel more in this style I think. I still can't get over seeing him a young man now ......no longer a boy! I'm still looking out for a young lady now who trains where my friends DD in Sydney attends ....Olivia Betteridge. There was a very good Korean (male) dancer in the livestream today(have only seen half of it though) I hope we are going to see some class work before the end of it all

Wifi time over till I get home tonight! However I did note that at the beginning of live streaming they announced that there is going to be a PDF file available on the website with all the candidates names and NUMBERS! This was one of the points I raised but didn't answer in the email!! Looks like many others have been asking for this and they have responded so well done them!!

Yes I think it was him who was interviewed on the first day.

Yes I agree with you Mimi there did seem to be more coverage that way .....hopefully they will get this livestream right by next year!! They did reply to,my email.....the next day.....which was very good I thought.....but only answered one of the three points raised. Yesterday one of the judges was being interviewed by a very obviously young interviewer and was asked if she wanted to see a clip of her Prix Contemporary piece and she said "no not really" but they showed it anyway!! You can catch up with livestream on YouTube though.

Well second attempt at sending am in London having to use wifi in coffee stops and it's not always that good my last post didn't go so am just checking this will before redo

At last CeliB!! A whole 5-6 mins with your DS in a coaching session!! If you haven't seen it yet it's about 50 mins into the livestream .....(was about 15.50 -56) roughly!! Enjoy! I quite like this particular piece as choreography.....will watch again tomorrow anyway! I'm also trying to follow Cooper Cridland from Sydney.

Ive sent an email to Prix de Lausanne saying we are not seeing enough of current candidates! I really don't want to waste time seeing the judges past performances .......if they are going to interview them then ask more about their judging skills and how will go about this etc. It's obvious they are filming quite a bit of this so in the end I don't see why there can't be several live streams from the different classes/coaching sessions etc ...which you can choose to watch the one you want etc! Sorry keep moaning but I don't think the Coleridge is that good at all so far still!!

Ive just caught up with one of the Australians Harrison Lee he is quite young but looking good.....no 204......better check that my memory is terrible anyway back to the livestream .....not so bad now know can catch up the next day though. Also just seen your DS introduce himself CeliB......when will we see him dance.....so frustrating
