How does YAGP protect the wellbeing of young dancers?

YAGP considers participant safety and wellbeing a fundamental responsibility.

This includes respectful communication and responsible treatment of sensitive issues such as appearance, body image, and weight.

YAGP has developed a Wellbeing & Safeguarding Charter and training for judges and staff addressing:

working with minors;

professional ethics;

cultural differences;

body image;

appropriate communication;

conflicts of interest.
