17-year-old António Casalinho has just won the Prix de Lausanne. It’s one of a surprisingly long list of competitions where he was placed, with wins including the prestigious Youth America Grand Prix and Varna International Ballet Competition. He even won
Got Talent Portugal in 2017. I asked him if the success surprises him.
“Of course, because when I started dancing I never imagined I would get to where I am at this point, winning all these competitions.” So when did you begin to realise that your talent was something special? “I started appreciating that I could actually do something with my talent when I went to the Youth America Grand Prix the first time. It was there that I saw that people liked to see me dance. It was the first time I was in a big competition, and so receiving that prize told me that I had the possibility to become a ballet dancer.”
