A Ballet Education

Have you ever thrown your hands into the air and said, “I’m Switzerland?” As the saying implies that the country as a whole has always stayed neutral when it comes to war. The prestigious Prix de Lausanne has officially broken that ideology as an independent organization, with no reflection of their country as a whole. Just showing how global the economy of ballet is, and has become. I stumbled across the letters via dance critic Alastair Macaulay. See the full letter from Prix de Lausanne’s Kathryn Bradney and Vaganova’s Noklai Tsiskaridze.

1.The Prix de Lausanne, eminent international ballet competition founded in 1973, is severing connections at present with the Vaganova Institute, renowned ballet school of St Petersburg in Russia, because of the latter’s continuing affiliation to the government of Putin’s Russia.
