This year marked our girls’ first time competing at the Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP) Philippines, and we couldn’t be prouder of them for braving the stage and embracing this new experience.
YAGP is one of the largest international ballet competitions in the world, bringing together talented young dancers from different countries. Our girls spent several days attending masterclasses with world-renowned teachers, learning new techniques, and gaining valuable experience alongside dancers from around the world.
One of the highlights was having the opportunity to meet and take class with Teacher Danielle’s former teacher, Mr. Andrei Jouravlev, from the Joffrey Ballet in New York. It was such a special, full-circle moment to see her own teacher now sharing their knowledge with the next generation of dancers.
A huge congratulations to Gelly for being invited to the Special Scholarship Callback Masterclass and placing Top 12 in the Pre-Competitive Contemporary Solo Division, making her one of the youngest dancers to place in the Top 12 in her age category. We are incredibly proud of you!
Congratulations as well to our classical group, Petit Divertissement, for placing Top 12 in the Ensemble Category. This is a wonderful achievement, especially for their first time competing at YAGP.
Beyond the competition, we are grateful for the opportunity our girls had to meet new dancers, form friendships, and experience different cultures through dance. More than the awards and recognition, it is the lessons learned, the confidence gained, and the memories made that make this experience truly meaningful.
We are so proud of all our girls for their hard work, courage, and dedication. This is just the beginning of many more opportunities and experiences ahead. We hope you continue to learn, grow, and dream big. Congratulations, girls!
