About BGP

Education, Artistry & Opportunity

Ballet Grand Prix was founded in 2015 by Sindy Monson to support young dancers in Scotland. It has since grown into an internationally recognised event, welcoming talent from across the globe.

Under the direction of Constance Devernay-Laurence and Sindy Monson, guests from the professional dance world join as teachers, pianists, and judges — creating an unmatched educational and performance platform.

A growing network of supporters offer prizes, bursaries, and training placements to help young dancers take the next step in their journey.
