[@NatyCassal]

Today Mayara is first soloist at the Royal Ballet. She is amazing.

[@ZZZ99913]

how did tyler donatelli get bronze?! she's awesome! her turns are soooo great.and the girl who got silver is not even that good..her turns kept moving.the young boy who got gold is really good!! hannah bettes most certainly deserved gold!! such stage presence and musicality and grace! her expressions!! her feet!! woahhh and aran bell?? amazing! speechless..5 pirouettes!! but bronze? only! theyre all so amazing! Hannah Kulas..just wow! how did she not get gold!

[@zoeloveslife22]

Hey! It’s not nice to mock the other girl just because tyler placed behind >:(. Remember ballet is not just turns and tricks the judges must have seen something in the silver medalist to give her that result

[@NatyCassal]

Today Mayara Magri, the gold medalist, is principal with the London Royal Ballet.

[@StarSeekingGuitar]

I really liked Kozue Tashiro!!! She was really amazing!

[@marieg8147]

I know this is late but I LOVE Mayara Magri

[@victoriajohare]

Min Jung Kim is fantastic! Absolutely stunning.

[@Awang6041]

mayara magri was PERFECT

[@chikarashii]

3:08 I’m dying that beautiful control ahhhhhhhh

[@laiscristina12]

Mayara Magri é a melhor bailarina,sem sombra de dúvidas! OBRIGADA MAYARA,O BRASIL TE AMA!

[@AnnabellaEdeL]

Hannah Kulas is my kind of dancer since her sensitivity and musicality are present during her whole variation. She still has to conquer her point work a little. Those dancers would be great asset for ABT, which is lacking dramatic dancers very much. Where is she working at the present?????

[@eduardasartorio1368]

Mayaraaaaa ❤️

[@stephaniecruvant9130]

I hope to ALL these gifted dancers on stage! the level of artistry astonishes me.. like watching Principal dancers at their best! KUDOS to All!!

[@2011GNA]

OMG! Mayara Magri dances very, very well. I love her!

[@user1name1here]

They are so good, they make it look so easy. Wow

[@Thegirlgardener]

Wonderfully talented young people, I hope they go very far in life

[@1931JC]

wonderful young people. The dedication is just marvelous. Good luck to all.

[@Dance4Life4Ever17]

@AnouDance Katia good, but no offense these junior winner are alot more advanced (besides the silver place)

[@katherinecraig6166]

This makes me feel bad about my life

[@isabellingner256]

Why?

[@katherinecraig6166]

Cause I just started ballet and I'm not very good yet.

[@isabellingner256]

hey me too

[@katherinecraig6166]

Thanks

[@urlocalshinnie_4969]

@@katherinecraig6166 it's okay, just work at it and you'll get there 💕

[@eduardasartorio1368]

BRASIIIIL

[@MariaClara-de4ff]

Mayaraaaa rainha demais ❤

[@jkokich]

Beautiful! What glorious bourees from the Grand Prix winner!

[@cosettebliss6930]

Amazing every one of them!

[@electraambrosia]

Exactly. They were younger here, and if they placed this high at one of the hardest ballet competitions in the world, I don't know why anyone would think they don't know what they're doing. They could all go on to be principal dancers.

[@LuchiFerrari]

la verdad los felicito es imprecionanteeeee

[@FD02Ballet]

Kozue Tashiro Tyler Donnatelli and Mayara Magri were so amazing :]

[@dancer4841]

[@crayonication]

[@omgsls]

Forget what others say about you! you deserve to win!=)

[@msaito36]

Very beautiful wonderful!!!!!*****

[@azoj777]

Aran Bell is freaking awesome. So is everyone here. :)

[@Jenndancer13]

I saw Hannah Bettes yesterday at YAGP and she's my friend on facebook lol!! :D but she did a ballet duet with Jackson Kettel and OH MY GOD... the whole audience stood up and they had the loudest clap of the whole show!!!!! :O i'm a dancer too and i wish to be her! But i know i'll never be like her. i want my feet like her

[@Ariadnelovesballet]

Giacomo Rovero!He is sooo talented!!

[@Kitteh7]

God I love dance. These people are amazing.

[@eduardasartorio8932]

Mayara ❤️

[@DoomsdayDollie]

You guys have to remember even if the performer does poorly or just doesn't win they have still been seen by hundreds of scouts from all around the world. Some get called months later asking to join a school or company. Just because they don't win a metal at the YAGP doesn't mean its the end of the world.

[@kaylajaimistockwell3744]

A. Zhang, "First Position" featured the 2010 Youth America Grand Prix :)

[@emilyramonkeel]

Mayara magri AMAZING

[@cosplaychoco]

THANK YOU

[@AliciaBaldelli]

Juliet Doherty did win, check the YAGP website. In her age division (Junior) she won the Gold :)

[@vln958]

I love Tyler Donatelli!

[@jvids1213]

Hannah Bettes was wonderful

[@HereForTheShips]

Aran Bell will go far! He's awesome

[@TheAuroraBallerina]

@sulaaussies That's actually a good question! I am a ballet dancer myself, and dancing with pointe shoes is soooo much harder.. In the beginning it was actually supposed to make it harder for the girls to do ballet, and it worked! But, it's beauuuutiful. I love the fact that you watch these videos without being a dancer yourself! :)

[@ToThePointeWebshow]

SO JEALOUS

[@NaomiLam02]

for your imformation the 1st place women in junior was very good

[@dancinggiraffe13]

tyler donatelli = TURNING DEMON! amazing

[@JonnyTainment]

Hey don't get me wrong. I like Aran, especially after seeing First Position. But I think Hannah should have won the Grand Prix especially after seeing all the tippy-toe dancing she did in that video. That's unhuman!

[@Awang6041]

I LOVE ARAN!!! hes amazing :)

[@libbywalch79]

Grand prix awards are best in women's and men's. Hope award is like Grand Prix, but for the per-competitive age division.

[@balletandswan]

Wow!!!!

[@RONIDC1979]

melissa hayden - mayara magri looks just like melissa hayden in the face. look up "dancing for mr. b" the woman with the dark brown hair cut in a bob is melissa hayden

[@balletangel123]

NONONO!! She should get Grand Prix!!!

[@林敬富-b3r]

Aran！！ ❤❤

[@MelissaLynn]

ohh the 2nd girl! i remember her from the trailer of the documentary, 1st position, I can't wait to see it! :)

[@SarahKanzaki]

wow, i thought the people in third for junior were better than the people in first

[@blakester624]

Not only were my teachers and family shocked when I won but so was I. I go there with equal opportunity as every other dancer.

[@kaylajaimistockwell3744]

+A. Zhang "First Position" featured the 2010 YAGP... this is 2011

[@yay12345678100]

wow le corsaire was quite lucky this year

[@MegzMelodi]

I love Tylers dress

[@nicoleaudrey0408]

i think tyler donatelli stand out the most !

[@TheSmentLover1619]

Hannah Bettes is now my 2nd Role model. :D

[@LylaSaxena]

@cursive700 I was in ensemble and placed 5th.

[@singer2b123]

OH MY GOD ARAN YESSS

[@sggidlyrehc]

3:00 very nice!

[@cosplaychoco]

Aran bell was only like twelve in this thing. he goes on to win the juniors division in future years. He was chosen to be included in a ballet documentary called "first position". give him some slake i don't see you doing double tours. LIKE SERIOUSLY DON'T MESS WITH MY HOME BOY YOU GOT THAT.

[@vln958]

@AnouDance I was wondering the same. And how then Paula Alves placed, if Katia wasn't good enough?

[@theAnnafilms]

5:00 girl is amazing!

[@Dancergal98]

Can someone please explain to Aran Bell & Blake Kessler what turnout, pointed feet and 5th position look like?

[@GeorgeOu]

@catgoesgreen17 haha, she covered her turned in fouette by making the rest of the choreography turned in. Amazing what you can fool the judges with.

[@jazzminlauren]

Yay aran!

[@RONIDC1979]

mayara reminds me of merrill ashleyt a little but her face is exactly like one of the bailerinas in 6 balanchine bailerinas .

[@NaomiLam02]

@LylaBallerina classical i was precompetitive division. did u get to go to new york? i got top twelve but could not go

[@LylaSaxena]

@cursive700 I did an ensemble!! What dod you do?

[@theAnnafilms]

TheBubblyBallerina commented before then, but yes, Juliet finally did win :)

[@lucho71]

Go Hannah Bettes!! :D

[@PolinaSemionovaFan]

Omg I went to abt young dancer summer intensive with the first guy

[@jennyluvballet]

I wonder if yagp only looks for pirouettes... btw, junior men bronze is really cool~

[@kaysceelee9138]

5:03 I adore her she has that ballet inside of her...J'aime

[@MissEirinii]

I said the exact same thing when i saw him!!

[@JonnyTainment]

Congratz on your win. I'll bet next YAGP you go to, I'll bet you'll be saying "Aran, you're not the only prodigy on the block!"

[@ZZZ99913]

that aaron bell is damn freaking good. how old is he???

[@alyssawatkins8764]

I know Hannah's variation is Swanhilda of act 3 from Coppelia but does anyone know the exact version she is doing? I cannot find it anywhere

[@paudanlatina09]

Which is the song of the magro's contemporary? is there a video??

[@FrauVonSinnfrei]

2:47 wooooaaahhhh :O !!!

[@dancinaleks]

@catgoesgreen17 Scoring is very subjective at finals. For example, someone who got gold could place lower than someone who got bronze but they decided to place them as gold. They also do not hand back scores to those who placed in top 12 or above.

[@danceyselena]

how the heck did paula alves win second!?!?!?! she cant do a foutte!!!!

[@yay12345678100]

Wow Le Corsiare was a lucky variation

[@NaomiLam02]

@LylaBallerina me too!!!!!!

[@minimiabeauty6569]

1:40 👈 woaw his feet!

[@NaomiLam02]

@LylaBallerina solo and ensemble

[@cosplaychoco]

LIKE WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU GAINING OFF OF THIS!?!?!?!?

[@azuenko]

how did that paula alves get a silver medal?? i can imagine her in ballet...

[@Isamaria019]

Someone knows the name of the music for Mayara Magri (the first one)???

[@MultiDancing1]

Geez, I would HATE be a judge on the panel for this level of talent... seems like it would be excruciating to have to differentiate between first, second, and third!

[@LaDancePaws]

While everyone danced very well, I think some in the Sr division that won should have gotten bronze and some that got bronze should have gotten silver. :\ All top notch dancers! Just odd placement to me.

[@DoraDaExplora44]

How old are juniors and how old are seniors?
