This year’s performance was filled with so many “firsts” for every dancer — from our youngest students to our adults — along with countless memories, challenges, and breakthroughs:

First time stepping onto the stage, first time dancing en pointe, first solo variation, first time having our own Open Stage, first time holding the final turns steadily, first quick costume changes, first time standing on stage to receive awards, first time completing every movement with confidence and excellence…

A very special thank you to our volunteer parent for capturing so many precious and shining moments on stage for us. ❤️

At Yu Xin Ballet School, every child and adult dancer is valued for their unique personality and artistic spirit. We believe that each individual has their own rhythm of growth. Here, neither children nor adult dancers are rushed or pressured to compare themselves with others. Instead, through gentle yet dedicated guidance, they are encouraged to discover themselves, develop a genuine love for dance, and naturally build confidence, artistry, and inner strength—growing step by step into the best version of themselves.

We warmly invite you to join us in celebrating these beautiful moments of growth.

Congratulations!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Yu Xin Ballet Students Earn Summer Program Acceptance and Scholarships

Every small achievement matters, and each one is truly meaningful ❤️. As the 2025-2026 YAGP competition wraps up, some students have received acceptances or scholarships to summer intensives, while others are still pushing forward on their journey. These moments of encouragement inspire the kids to stay focused and keep working hard ☺️

💌 Isabella Gao, age 10, competed for the first time this year and was accepted to the Colorado Ballet Summer Intensive in the U.S. (Her acceptance email was accidentally tossed as spam by her mom… and then rescued 😂)

💌 Renell Yu, age 12, received acceptances from several U.S. ballet summer programs, along with invitations to YGP Nervi festival in Italy and summer program in Italy 🇮🇹. She was also awarded short-term scholarships from three schools:

🇺🇸 Colorado Ballet — full short-term scholarship
🇺🇸 Oklahoma City Ballet — short-term & summer intensive scholarship
🇨🇦 Alberta Ballet (Canada) — short-term scholarship

This summer, Renell will be focusing on Yu Xin Ballet’s ✨Junior Intensive, Pro Intensive, Friday Buddy Club, as well as Saturday Ballet 3/4 and pointe training. We’d love for students who are preparing for next year’s YAGP season—or anyone looking to strengthen their ballet and contemporary technique—to join us for our summer intensives 🩰

🎉🎊 Huge congratulations to Yu Xin Ballet on wrapping up an incredible 2025–2026 YAGP competition season!

Looking back, what started last year as a “half-vacation, half-competition” experiment has turned into a year of truly focused preparation. It’s been amazing to watch the kids grow and transform every step of the way.

To our dancers: you’ve gone from feeling nervous and unfamiliar on stage to performing with confidence and grace. Even when little things go wrong, you stay calm and keep going—so proud of you!

To our parents: you’ve gone from juggling everything at the last minute to handling hair, makeup, transportation, and backstage support like pros. It’s a lot of work, and you’ve been incredible 👏

✨ Looking back, it’s clear that everyone’s potential has far exceeded what we first imagined. The competition just wrapped up, and already the kids are excitedly talking about the dances they want to take on next year! That pure joy and excitement is exactly what keeps us moving forward 💛

🌟 We can’t wait to see everyone shine on stage at this year’s school showcase!

For adult students, this annual performance is not only an excellent physical workout, but also an ongoing brain training process. Amid constantly changing choreography, we must coordinate our bodies, memorize sequences, and work together with others—while also paying attention to whether we are following Mr. Yu’s detailed requirements: correct head, arm, and foot positions; which foot is in front; and whether we are truly on the music 🤯.

For beginners, there is often no mental space left to focus on ballet’s most essential elements—turnout, control, and alignment😂. In a seven-minute dance, even as physical strength and mental focus begin to fade, we still must maintain high spirits and persevere through the final pose and curtain call.

Through personally experiencing ballet, we begin to understand the challenges behind the stage. We gradually let go of excessive pointing fingers, criticism, and fault-finding toward children learning ballet. Confronted with our own limitations, before this exquisite art form, we learn to be more humble👍.

🎄 Happy Holidays from the Yu Xin Ballet family! 💐✨

Last week’s parent observation classes were a beautiful success, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Seeing our little dancers give their all, and parents quietly cheering them on from the sidelines, reminds us just how powerful presence and support can be. 💕

Under your love and guidance, children grow gracefully—and ballet 🩰 becomes a magical thread connecting us all.

Thank you to every family for your trust and partnership.

May your days be filled with love and joy, and may every child at Yu Xin Ballet feel seen, encouraged, and cherished ✨—shining bright with their own unique sparkle! 🌟
