YAGP 2015 Semi-finals Chicago, IL February 20 - 22, 2015 Dear Participants, Parents and Teachers, It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the YAGP 2015 Semi-Finals in Chicago, IL! We hope you will enjoy learning from each other as well as the many distinguished dance professionals gathered here. As many of you already know, we have designed the YAGP experience in such a way that every participant, regardless of their level of training or career goals, can benefit greatly from the multitude of educational and professional opportunities available throughout the event. Competition entries are organized by birth date starting with our youngest participants. The only exceptions to this order are special considerations due to costume changes. We are proud to say that in only 16 short years YAGP has become the largest student scholarship competition in the world. This is in large part due to the support of our participants and participating schools. In particular, we would like to thank the Chicago, IL participating schools: Ada Dance Academy, MI Marlene Kenneway, David Braciak, Dennis Davis, Laura Berman, Margie Vizuragga Alma Dance School, IL Vilma Machin, Guillermo Levya, Eddy Ocampo, Gretchen Smith American Dance Academy, MI Melva Zavisa, Michael Hicks, Vicki Krier Ann Parsley School of Dance, MI Amber Megna Michalik, Sarah Boik Ashley Ballet Arts Acadamy, MN Ashley Burkland, Jacqueline McDaniel, Tami Sevlie Ballet 5:8 School of the Arts, IL Julianna Slager, Amy Sanderson, Lauren Ader-Cumpston, Lauren Cumpston Ballet Montreal Performing Arts School, Paula Urrutia, Daniela Frick QC, CANADA Ballet Prestige, NY Katherine Johnson, Julianne Deming Ballet Theatre of Carmel at Performer’s Ron Morgan, Frank Weiner, Jane Hachiya-Weiner, Sarah Woolgar, So Yon Nam Edge, IN Center for Dance Education, SC Mimi Worrel, Anna Porter Chicago Academy for the Arts, IL Randy Duncan, Eddy Ocampo, Guillermo Leyva Classical Dance Academy, IL Liz Rogers, Christian Naven Dance and Music Academy, IL Krissie Odegard Geye, Beth Netzly DanceWest Ballet, IL Ricardo Moyano, Regina Moyano, Autumn Eckman, Ludmila Lupu Dancenter North, IL Karen Landrian, Cheri Lindell, Stacy Keller Extensions Dance Company, IL Lizzie MacKenzie, Yosvani Ramos Faubourg School of Ballet, IL Watmora Casey, Aaron Rogers, Anna Spellman, Preston Miller, Rali Iordanova, Ralitza Iordanova, Tatyanna Mazur Forte Arts Center, IL Pam Simpson, Callie Marik, Megan Edwards Gaspers School of Dance, ND Matthew Gasper, Kenneth Bello, Kayla Morgan, Matt Gasper Hinsdale Dance Academy, IL Jennifer Grapes, Carly Snelling, Charlique Rolle, Danielle Troyano, Lucas Athaide, Kayleigh Danowski, Natalie Rossi Independent, IL/Maya Belcove Karin Ellis-Wentz, Shir Lee Wu, Ronn Stewart Independent, MN/Marisa Pace Ken Bello, Ronita Hackel, Matthew Gasper Independent, WI/Katie Introcaso Indiana Ballet Conservatory, IN Alyona Yakovleva-Randall, Tatiana Pali, Alexei Moskalenko, Sergey Sergiev, Hailey Agran, Megan Campbell Indiana Ballet Theatre, IN Gloria Tuohy, Amanda Tuohy-Fuller, Elizabeth Evenhouse, Joseph Hutto, Sara Eichmeier Interlochen Arts Academy, MI Cameron Basden, Justin Koertgen Iowa Ballet Academy, IA Ami M.
