Dear friends,

To support dancers while they stay at home, for the past two months YAGP has been broadcasting FREE daily online classes by YAGP jury members, guest artists, and winners of the Outstanding Teacher/School Award. This week, YAGP is expanding its online education curriculum to include personalized coaching sessions with top professionals in the field and some of the most exciting artists performing today.

We are thrilled to announce our June schedule of classes , with FREE online classes provided every Tuesday & Thursday and Zoom classes offered every Wednesday & weekends, along with other special offerings.
