Is this from the 1995 Prix de Lausanne? I know she never won a Lausanne Scholarship but I can't help thinking that she performed this in Moscow when the Prix de Lausanne was held there that year in the Bolshoi theater.

No, it's from the 1995 Eurovision Concours. I don't know who is the winner.

Well, now she's prima ballerina of Bolshoi theater and is a superb dancer, so... In this video she's just very young :)

PS: And her acting abilities are amazing :)

She looks so pretty and light... I really enjoy watching her.

Le prix de Lausanne, où je réside, est de toutes beautés !

Tellement fluide, aérien, souple, empli de grâce et de TALENTS !

Tous les candidats sont pour le moins bons et très bons ! Puis, il y a les petits GENIES !

Un rêve pur !
