International Ballet Grand Prix 2025

Supported by Harlequin, the International Ballet Grand Prix Singapore 2025 brought together young dancers from around the world in a celebration of artistry and performance.

The International Ballet Grand Prix 2025 (IBGP) includes both ballet and contemporary segments, aiming to recognise and celebrate talented young dancers. 

Open to participants of all nationalities and backgrounds, aged 7-21, the competition offers students valuable opportunities to learn, grow and shape their future dance careers.

The Singapore edition of IBGP 2025 was held at the University Cultural Centre Theatre, National University of Singapore, from 31 July to 3 August 2025. Participants competed in ballet solos, contemporary solos and group performances, demonstrating technique and artistry. The competition concluded with the grand final on 3 August.

The Singapore Dance Alliance, owner of the IBGP, ensured the smooth execution of the competition and its associated programmes.

For several years, Harlequin has been a proud supporter of IBGP, with finalists performing on a Harlequin floor that guarantees both safety and world-class performance conditions. Xia Haiying, Singapore Dance Alliance Co-founder and Artistic Director, said: “We are truly grateful for Harlequin Floors’ generous sponsorship and continued support of the International Ballet Grand Prix. The partnership plays a vital role in raising the standard of our event and in recognising young dance talent from around the world.”

Xia Haiying continued: “Harlequin’s involvement not only allowed us to honour excellence with dedicated awards, but also demonstrated their leadership in supporting the international dance community. Their presence reinforces the professional standards we aspire to and brings invaluable visibility to the next generation of dancers.”

This year’s ballet competition welcomed Minister of State for Culture, Community and Youth & Minister of State for Transport, Mr. Baey Yam Keng, and received strong support from Singapore Ballet and the National Arts Council.

In addition to the competition, IBGP 2025 hosted workshops and a dance conference conducted by renowned ballet masters and professional dancers, providing participants with unique learning opportunities.

Congratulations to all of this year’s winners of the International Ballet Grand Prix 2025!
