Ingrid Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) 25 minutes ago, Pas de Quatre said: The Prix website says the choices of this year's winners will be published in a month - have some already said something? One has. She said it on a public social media so anyone can know but it’s in portuguese. I actually really love her choice because though all former dancers from this school have gone to The Royal Ballet School, she ended up choosing something kind of unexpected - since her school’s history with the Prix always made it seem like RBS was the place she’d go. Given the support she received to go to her choice of school and also her personal liking to the school and company, I think she’ll have a incredible future ahead of her there. When all the info is made available by the prix oficial channels, I’ll be sure to comeback here say more things in detail and other tidbits about the competition ( from her point of view) that I though were very interesting and insightful.

Pas de Quatre Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Well if anyone speaks Portuguese.... Or perhaps it could be copied and posted in the original and we could work it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capybara Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 The social media I use (not Twitter ) provides a translation button for substantive posts; but this news is on lucianasagioroofficial’s Instagram story. She says she is going to Paris Opera Ballet School (it’s very clear; so no translation required on my part!). (The school Director, Elizabeth Platel, was one of the teachers giving class last week.) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pas de Quatre Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I genuinely don't see why this is a problem. The whole point of social media is to get as many people to see, like and follow your posts. Thank you capybara - I was in the middle of writing this when you posted.

Min Lee of South Korea fell in his classical variation and having watched it again it looks as if the stage was slippery in that spot because he didn't appear to do anything wrong technically. Micah Levine of the US fell in the same spot in the warm up class.

Naomi M Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 What I felt very sorry was at the semifinals when Kaining Dong (China, 416) was about to perform La Sylphide but there was some technical mistakes in the playing of music and that happened several times so he could not get in sync with the music. He should have been given another chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dance*is*life Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) I am rather proud that I actually know Darrion Sellman's teacher from his previous school in California. He won a scholarship to Princess Grace from YAGP, which is why they get the credit, but his training was in the States and at an RAD school! This teacher is brilliant - she trained her own son, whose win at YAGP gave him a scholarship to the Royal. He's now leading Principal at Joffrey Ballet!

LinMM Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Pleased to see Darrion Sellman taking up RB apprenticeship. I have to say I don’t remember Mingyang Xie at the Prix but congratulations to her for the scholarship…she must have been one of the younger ones and I concentrated on the older ones only this time.

Pas de Quatre Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I have no knowlege of this case, but in the past it has been because the candidate has accepted a full paying contract elsewhere. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ming Yang Xie is a male dancer, with beautiful lines and a danseur noble quality with fine technique. He would be a great addition if he could make into the company. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinMM Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Thankyou FionaE 😊 Goodness a lovely dancer and yes those feet!! I didn’t watch every candidates final pieces this year so missed him but the Royal certainly lucky he has chosen them for his final training. I can’t see him not getting into the Company eventually unless he decides he wants to go elsewhere!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophoife Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I have been told that the finalist who has forfeited their prize intends to complete the year at their current school, with the aim of gaining a contract at the affiliated company. (I hope this is acceptable provision of information - it came to me from a member of staff at said institution) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
