We are incredibly proud of our student Martina Zarb for being accepted into and successfully completing the YGP Malta 4-Day Intensive Workshop, an inspiring and demanding experience comprising 8 hours of training each day.

Throughout this intensive, Martina had the wonderful opportunity to train under Alexei Moskalenko, Associate Artistic Director of Youth America Grand Prix, and Robert Parker, Artistic Director of Elmhurst Ballet School, alongside an exceptional group of talented young dancers.

Her dedication, discipline, passion, and commitment truly shine through. Experiences such as these are invaluable in a young dancer’s journey, providing opportunities to develop technique and artistry while building confidence, resilience, and determination.

Well done, Martina! We are so proud of you and look forward to seeing where your dedication and passion for dance take you next. 🩰✨

Thank you YAGP, Ms. Larissa, Mr. Gennadi, Ms. Natalia @natalia_bashkatova , and Mr. Alexei @alexeimoskalenko for having such a great impact on many lives of young dancers and putting your effort into doing what is best for the young generation and supporting them so early on in their careers.

My wish is for everyone in such a diverse community with people of all backgrounds and experiences to all bond through the world of dance. Please spread your kindness and respect ❤️

One year, so many memories, and so much to be grateful for @yagp 🩵

My first year with YAGP gave me so much more than I ever expected — new stages, new experiences, inspiring teachers, wonderful friends, and most importantly, the confidence to keep going.

And a very special thank you to Ms Larissa, Mr Gennadi, Ms Natalia @natalia_bashkatova
,Mr. Alexei @alexeimoskalenko Ms Racheal @racheallnye and every YAGP teacher who has taught, guided, corrected, encouraged, and believed in me along the way. My @morningstardance teachers Mr Chen, Mr Nurzhan, Ms Sherry and Ms Wynne who teach and guide me everyday.
I wouldn’t be the dancer I am today without each of you❤️

I know I still have so much to learn and so much to improve, but I’m grateful for every correction, every opportunity, and every person who has believed in me along the way.

Thank you, @yagp for being such a special part of my journey.
Here’s to another year of learning, growing, dreaming, and simply loving to dance. 🩰✨

With a grateful heart,
Olivia Wang
