2016 YAGP Grand Defile Rehearsal

"I've always said that the Grand Defile is the highlight of the gala for me...exemplifying the camaraderie of YAGP's finals week in NYC. Hundreds of adorable, brilliant, young dancers from around the world, most of whom have never met or rehearsed together as a unit before...speaking different languages...yet with the help of many interpreters and some amazing choreographers come together in the common language of movement to create a beautiful dance, all in the span of a few days...in between their master classes, private rehearsals, scholarship audition classes, competitive performances and other finals' activities." -Gary Brandt
