    www.yagp.org 646.791.9500 GENNADI LARISSA Welcome to the SAVELIEV SAVELIEV President Artistic Director 2016 Season and Founder and Founder EAR FRIENDS, WELCOME TO THE 17TH SEASON OF YOUTH AMERICA GRAND PRIX! This season is dedicated to the loving memory of Shelley King – who, as D YAGP’s Director of Operations for the past 12 years, has changed countless young artists’ lives by helping them realize their dreams of becoming professional dancers. As we continue to honor Shelley’s dedication and passionate love for dance, we ask that you join us in celebrating her indomitable spirit. We would like to introduce two newest members of our team who will be in charge of registration - Billie Buddenhagen and Justin Sebesta. As a former General Manager of Ballet Austin, Billie brings a wealth of professional experience to our organization – and, as a ballet mom herself, she has a thorough understanding of the perspective of participants, parents and teachers. She joins YAGP as Regional Director, with Justin as Regional Manager. As the world’s largest student ballet scholarship competition, YAGP constantly works to expand its global network of dance. This year, we are thrilled to announce two new semi-final locations: Beijing, People’s Republic of China and Salt Lake City in the United States. We hope that this will create greater access for more talented young dance artists to participate in YAGP’s education and performance opportunities. In an effort to make the NYC Finals experience more convenient and economical for participants and their families, we have chosen a new venue for the Finals and Gala: the Howard Gilman Opera House at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
