    Five years ago, a little dance documentary took the ballet world by storm. Not only did it give viewers an unprecedented watch at the pressure-filled world of ballet competitions, it also made stars of the talents it followed. By the way, YAGP will be streaming all the live action online. So it got me thinking: What happened to those kiddos—now adults—that Kargman introduced us to years ago?
