As the premier dance service organization, Youth America Grand Prix hosts an annual benefit performance every Spring in New York City, to raise funds in support of young dancers.
The annually sold-out YAGP Gala performances serve as the organization’s largest fundraising effort, and offer a platform to highlight the rising stars of tomorrow, on par with more established dancers and world-renowned stars, in rare New York appearances.
The YAGP Gala also provides audiences the opportunity to see innovative, world-premiere choreography, created especially for the occasion.
