The 2016 YAGP finals were held in NYC over the past week. Unfortunately they did not publish the names of the participants this year, so we don't know who from the BETM community competed.

The winners list has now been posted. Congratulations to Mitchell Tobin and his partner Marie-Chantal Max on finishing in the top 6 of the Ensembles PAS DE DEUX Classical category!

The 2017 YAGP will take place in New York beginning this Friday, April 7th, and run through next week.

The event always concludes with a “STARS OF TODAY MEET THE STARS OF TOMORROW” GALA. This year Cesar Corrales will perform at the gala, four years after he was a finalist himself at YAGP.

Here are this year's YAGP winners. I don't recognize any Billys in the list, but Lazaro Corrales (brother of Cesar) placed second in the Men's Junior Division. That must be a talented family!

It helps to have parents who are both excellent dancers (or at least were) too :)
