IPBA offers individual and group ensemble training for students interested in participating in the annual Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP) competition. This annual international competition offers dancers ages 9-19 an opportunity to attend master classes and be eligible for scholarships.

Since 2015, IPBA students have consistently placed in the Top 12 and Top 24, with several students placing first in their category and earning scholarships to train full-time with prestigious schools in the U.S and Canada. In 2016, IPBA was named Outstanding School.

Participants begin rehearsing in September to compete in January and February.  Those who place at the top of their category go on to complete nationally.
