  • The Annual Young Bunhead Parade Moved from Lincoln Centerʼs David H
    The annual young bunhead parade moved from Lincoln Centerʼs David H. Koch Theatre to the Brooklyn Academy of Music this year, so the average Manhattanite may not have noticed that the Youth America Grand Prix, 2016 edition, returned to New York last week. But anyone familiar with ballet certainly would have known, and made the pilgrimage as I did, to see the YAGP Final Round, and its annual Stars of Today Meet the Stars of Tomorrow gala program. Despite some flaws, which are built into a procedure that emphasizes balletʼs future, missing these programs was unthinkable. Even though itʼs at least nominally a competition, itʼs also great fun to watch. The first thing that hits you as you watch the Final Round of competition (limited to solo competitors in the Junior and Senior Women and Men categories) is how talented, and how poised, these young dancers are. In the first half of the program in particular, which featured the Junior dancers, they all looked like they owned the stage: no one looked scared, and as far as I noticed, no one missed a step. The second thing that hits you is how young these young dancers really are. Having these 12 through 14 year old competitors categorized as Junior Women and Junior Men is a fact of politically correct life, and one certainly not limited to dance competition categories. You forget, when they perform, how young they really are. But seeing these young dancers emerge giddy and bubbling from their dressing areas following the first half of the competition is totally incompatible with seeing what they can do on stage.
