YOUTH AMERICAN GRAND PRIX

SDAB has placed in the top twelve every year since it first started participating in the esteemed YAGP competition in 2004.

This success aside, we are not a "competition studio", and are not motivated by trophies. By virtue of our investment in nurturing top tier talent day in day out, year after year, we win.

There are many studios in San Diego focused on competing. We are not one of them. We are however focused on champions, which we create both in and out of the studio via long term, high caliber training.
