A week of discovery, shared creativity, and unforgettable moments at JACOB’S PILLOW! ❤️✨

From the first class to the final curtain call, this week was filled with the joy of learning and creating together. Inspiring rehearsals, playful photoshoots, meaningful friendships, and remarkable performances gave these young artists opportunities to explore new possibilities—and discover more of themselves along the way. 🩰

JACOB’S PILLOW and YAGP’s FRESH VOICES IN DANCE brought together 50 dancers, 8 emerging choreographers, and 8 leading dance institutions for 6 world premieres across 4 extraordinary shows. Watching ideas take shape in the studio and come to life onstage was a beautiful reminder of what happens when young artists have the space, encouragement, and support to find their voices.

We leave feeling inspired by the dedication, generosity, and imagination of every dancer and choreographer. To the entire Jacob’s Pillow team, thank you for welcoming our YAGP family, sharing this historic home for dance, and making every part of this experience so special.

So much to celebrate, so many memories to cherish, and such a bright future ahead for these young artists! ❤️✨

Sometimes choreography is hard work. Other times you meet a dancer like Berkleigh. She moves like water and like steel, all in pointe shoes.

"Don't Think Twice!". One year ago I was making this work with Philadelphia Ballet 2. These young dancers have soul and a real hunger to learn. I'm happy to see them still performing this piece with such joy and abandon.
