Dear Friends,
We are thrilled to welcome you to the Youth America Grand Prix 18​th​ Season.
Below, you will find a preliminary timeline to help you plan your schedule, and venue
information to help you choose the right Semi-Final location for you.
TIMELINE
Please note that the posted timeline is NOT FINAL, and is only meant to give you an
idea of how each particular semi-final will be structured. For example, the Semi-Final
usually begins with the pre-competitive group performances, followed by junior
groups, senior groups and ensembles.
Workshops are usually planned to take place in reverse order. Each participant will
take one workshop, consisting of three classes. Ensemble participants take
workshops according to their age group.
The updated timeline with a detailed schedule will be posted after the registration
cut-off date, about five-to-six weeks prior to each semi-final.
VENUE
Here you will find details about all Semi-Final event facilities including theater and
studios. As a general rule, the number of seats in the theater can be used as a good
indicator of the size of the event -- the smaller the size of the auditorium, the more
limited the capacity of the event, and vice versa. Semi-finals that take place later in
the season usually get more crowded. In all cases, we recommend registering early
to ensure participation in your preferred event.
Best of luck, and please do not hesitate to send your additional questions to
[email protected]​.
