Harlequin Floors is proud to be a longtime supporter of Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP)—the world’s largest international ballet scholarship competition and a vital platform for young dancers to shine.

Founded in 1999, YAGP provides aspiring dancers ages 9 to 19 with performance opportunities, scholarships to the world’s leading dance institutions, and access to top-tier training and mentorship. Over 150,000 young dancers have participated in YAGP auditions, with many
joining major ballet companies around the globe.

Harlequin is especially excited to attend the YAGP Finals and the ‘Stars of Today Meet the Stars of Tomorrow’ Gala later this month to celebrate the extraordinary talent, dedication, and artistry that define this incredible organization. The 2025 YAGP Competition Finals will take place April 21-27 in Tampa, Florida, at the Straz Center for Performing Arts. The New York City Gala will be held on Tuesday, April 29th at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center, and will feature the world’s most promising young dancers alongside stars of the most celebrated dance companies like American Ballet Theatre and Paris Opera Ballet.

We look forward to connecting with fellow supporters, dancers, and directors as we continue to champion the next generation of dance excellence. Best of luck to all competitors!
