OUR PARTNERS:

As YAGP continues to work with Directors of dance schools around the world to place Ukrainian dance students, please consider helping these children, whose lives are now in danger.

Displaced by violence, these pre-professional young artists need a new home – both to live and to practice their art.

Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP) is a U.S.-based non-profit organization that since 1999 has been providing opportunities for talented young dancers worldwide to study on scholarship at the world’s leading dance academies. During the crisis in the Ukraine, YAGP has been actively working with European and U.S. dance schools to secure tuition-free places for displaced Ukrainian dance students and helping arrange logistics for their travel.

However, these young dancers still need your help – with room and board, living expenses, the cost of travel to the schools where they can continue to train safely, and other dance-related expenses.

The funds collected will go directly to the students to help them reach safety and practice their art. For these young artists, dance is their life – and by making it possible for them to continue training, you would make life possible for them.
