2nd year at YAGP and I still don’t quite get them. Admission fees for parents, and only one ticket per dancer allowed for the awards presentation. #getabiggervenue

DD is transitioning from Comp Studio to Ballet school this year...I assume the dance mama drama will be just as intense, but more snooty.

If it's a jazz style dance to a Hip Hop song in tap shoes, what category does it belong in? So confused....

Not every young dancer will turn their love of dance into a career, but each will take the lessons to improve the quality of their life.

You want longevity and to stay relevant in dance? Get great training & a college education. You will adapt, you will change, you will grow.

Director signs minis up in wrong division...calls them 5 hours before published time to go on in 1 hr...they didn't make it. #hotmess

"Piece by piece" with a teddy bear prop that just sits on stage by himself. Oh wait someone just lifted it up.
