Youth American Grand Prix YAGP 2026 Gala

Youth America Grand Prix, YAGP (Visual Arts Masters/YAGP)
, , , , , ,

Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP) is the world’s largest international student ballet scholarship program. It filters talent for the world’s leading ballet companies.

There are talent scouts and international ballet stars in the audience. It’s fun ballet because some young dancers have big followings and the audience responds to the dancing as if ballet was a sport.

The Finals have moved out of NYC, but the Gala and an international student performance remain.
