I was just wondering if anyone has seen the competition or competed in it. I'm thinking about entering next year as it will probably be the last year that I will be able to do it... I just need to find a partner that wants to go with me! In any case, I'd be interested in hearing anything about it. Thanks!

I watched the first two competiitions. They had all of the dancers perform the same choreography for pas de deuxs and solos. All coached by a various famous teachers and dancers.

Good Luck!

I saw the 1996 mpetition where Barbora Kohoutkova won (She was beautiful). It's a little hard on the audience since the pieces are always the same, but from everything I've heard it's great experience for the dancers. The year I saw, Cynthia Gregory coached the couples in the grand pas from Sleeping Beauty.

Here's a topic we had on the 2003 competition: New York International Ballet Competition 2003.
