The YAGP Gala returned for the first time since the pandemic
Elegant attendees headed to Lincoln Center last night to join Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP) in celebrating its Stars of Today Meets the Stars of Tomorrow Gala. YAGP, the world’s largest student ballet scholarship competition which is now in its 25th season, awarded over $500,000 in scholarships to 300+ dancers to attend over 40 of the best dance institutions across the globe this year. Last night’s event kicked off with a program that featured performances including everything from world premieres to rarely seen works, and also placed a spotlight on talented young dancers (ages 9-19) who danced in front of top ballet school directors and company heads in hopes of scholarships and job opportunities. Supporters were welcomed back and thanked by YAGP Founder Larissa Saveliev and Board Chair Richard Osterweil, as well as hosts Paul Arnhold, Elissa Brenner, Lili Buffett, Grace Fuller Marroquin, Wes Gordon, Alyson Gradone, Rebecca Hessel Cohen, Sarah Hoover, Lilli Hymowitz, Eve Jobs, Lindsay Kraus, Candice Miller, Colby Mugrabi, Grace Pomeranc, Indre Rockefeller, Daniela Tisch, Virginia W. Tomenson, Lesley Vecsler, Lina Wallach, Marcella Hymowitz. YAGP Board Member Hymowitz told the crowd, “Sometimes dance can literally save lives. Since February 2021, Youth America Grand Prix has worked tirelessly to find new dance homes for Ukrainian students displaced by war. One of them, 16-year-old Nikita Malaki, performed here at Lincoln Center tonight. Nikita is one of 200 Ukrainian dancers whom YAGP placed on scholarship at leading dance schools in Europe and the United States – giving them a chance to continue living and practicing their art in safety.”

The first episode, which racked up almost 20,000 views in the first hour it was live, is available now. *Chef’s kiss!*
