Youth America Grand Prix’s 2013 “Stars of Today Meet the Stars of Tomorrow” Gala will take place on Thursday, April 18, 2013 at Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater.

Annually sold-out and highly acclaimed by critics worldwide, YAGP Galas featuring the world’s most promising young dance students and the stars of today’s leading international dance companies have been thrilling New York City audiences since the inception of YAGP in 1999.

Allow us to boast for a moment: We've been beyond fortunate and met some of S.F.'s brightest style stars. And, there's no shortage in sight, as the eye candy just keeps rolling in. Case in point: S.F. Ballet's principal dancer, Maria Kochetkova, who recently showed us around the city's famed opera house — and her whimsical wardrobe.
