Excerpt from jury report Alessia Vogelzang
‘Alessia is a searching, intense dancer in steady development; analyzing how to use her intrinsic drive and artistry to obtain the best result in classical and modern work and improvisation. She is an intense dance personality with a highly motivated work ethic. On stage, she is a somewhat mysterious appearance with an enigmatic charisma.’
Excerpt from jury report Noah Prins
‘Noah - a natural dance talent - steady develops into a beautiful, professional ‘all round’ dancer. Thoughtful and precise during the learning and creation processes in the studio; expressive and passionate in the performance of both choreography and own creations. On stage, as an expressive podium artist, he is able to convey emotion and inspiration to the audience.’
