At 16, Romane Laury, trained at the VM Ballet in Toulouse, is participating in the finale of season 11 of the show Prodiges, this evening on France 2.
She is one of the twelve finalists of the 11th season of the show Prodiges, broadcast on France 2. This evening, in front of thousands of spectators and under the eye of the jury composed of star dancer Marie-Claude Pietragalla, cellist Gautier Capuçon and mezzo-soprano Axelle Saint-Cirel, Romane Laury will try to win the title that other dancers from the VM Ballet of Toulouse, like her, have previously unhooked.
The school located in the Croix-Daurade district and founded by Vinciane Ghyssens and Matthew Madsen sends candidates to this show every year. Besides Romane, there was also Marcel Zeller this year, 14 years old, who reached the semi-finals.
For ten years, fifteen of his students have already reached the final, “five have won the title of Dance Prodigy and two that of Prodigy of the year”, reminded last week The Dispatch Vincente Ghyssens
