Legate danced the pas de deux from Marius Petipa’s “Le Corsaire” and the second movement of “Sphinx” by Glen Tetley with Jennifer Fournier, also with the National Ballet. The prize consists of a sculpture and $6,000 for each winner. The late dancer Erik Bruhn left part of his estate to establish the prize.
