YOUTH AMERICA GRAND PRIX

What is YAGP?

Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP) is the world’s largest student ballet competition that awards over $250,000 annually in scholarships to dance students worldwide.

In February 2024, a small group of Bloom dancers attended YAGP competitions in Denver, CO and Kansas City, MO.

We are excited to provide this opportunity for our Cultivate ballet students at Bloom!

Details and Requirements:

Who is Eligible?

Bloom dancers ages 12 - 20 years old who are enrolled in the Cultivate program (Levels 5 and 6) for the 2024 - 2025 season are eligible to compete for scholarships at YAGP.

YAGP age categories are divided as follows:

• Senior (15 - 20 years old, born between January 2, 2004 and January 1, 2009)

• Junior (12 - 14 years old, born between January 2, 2009 and January 1, 2012)

Senior division dancers are required to perform en pointe; junior division dancers will be on demi-pointe in flat canvas shoes. Dancers are not permitted to select their own solo, as they must comply to YAGP rules and regulations. Solos will be selected by your Bloom instructors.

Details for our next season coming soon!
