Newsletter Fall 2021

Dear Friends, As we are about to celebrate Thanksgiving in the United States, we could not be more thankful for the opportunity to finally return to our highly anticipated LIVE international semi-finals in Europe and South America – after a nearly two-year hiatus. If you follow YAGP on social media, you may have noticed a difference in the naming of some YAGP events. This is because Youth America Grand Prix will now operate in several parts of the world as Youth Grand Prix, with each region adding its country name to the name of the new entity – for instance, Youth Grand Prix Japan. The updated names reflect the international nature of Youth America Grand Prix – and honor each of the regional locations around the world where YAGP semi-finals and auditions take place. We wanted to emphasize the inclusive, global community that is not only focused on the United States of America, but is truly reflective of the international dance community served by YAGP: the world’s largest global dance family. Read on for an exclusive backstage pass to our first few semi-final events of the 2021/2022 Season. Happy Thanksgiving!
