Our students have an opportunity to participate in local and regional dance competitions such as the Youth of America Grand Prix, Masquerade, Bravo, Encore. Students levels 2 and up may reach out to Kirill Bak- Stepanoff if they are interested in consideration for participation.
We believe that the competition is a great opportunity for students to learn different variations, improve their technique, perform on stage and make new friends in the ballet community! We are proud of all our participants, even more for the support and camaraderie built throughout the competition than for the awards received.
We ask our families to remember that competition is subjective and that ballet as an art form may not always be judged in the same way by different audiences, judges, spectators or directors. Students who compete do so by focusing on the process of preparing for the given opportunity to perform, and with an eye to learning, performing in a unique and competitive environment.
The Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP) is one of the most prestigious and renowned international ballet competitions. It provides young dancers with a platform to showcase their talent, receive valuable feedback from esteemed professionals, and gain exposure to potential opportunities in the world of ballet.
Here are some key features and aspects of the YAGP competition:
Registration for the YAGP competition will open on July 1st!
Be aware that YAGP often have limited spots avilable and can fill up quickly due to their popularity. Therefore, it is recommended to register as early as possible in order to secure your place in the competition. Participation in the YAGP competition is for participants aged 9 and over. To learn more about participation, please contact Kirill Bak-Stepanoff by email or phone.
Our program is designed to provide dancers with the necessary training and support to shine on stage. This year, we have exciting updates to enhance they journey towards competition success. We will begin by dividing participants into different groups based on age, solo, or group categories for practicing in beginning of September, just before the start of the Nutcracker season.

Building on that success, we are excited to announce that this year's competition in this location will take place from February 15th to 18th.
However, we understand that scheduling conflicts can arise,
and the provided dates may not work for everyone.
Therefore, we offer the flexibility to select any other suitable
