A number of our students competed locally last spring and were quite successful. Winning first and second place in categories, with a few students winning cash prizes. It was a good experience for our dancers.
In January of 2012- six of our dancers will be traveling to Chicago to compete in the YAGP semi-finals. The Youth America Grand Prix Competition is the largest ballet competition and scholarship program in the world. Many successful competitors have gone on to dance professionally. There are semi-final competitions all over the world, with a final competition held in NYC in April. This is a very prestigious competition and we are excited for Lucia, Masha, Amy, Ellie, Lydia, and Ira to compete! We’ll keep you posted on their success.
