The Joffrey Ballet School curriculum is designed to train dancers to be adaptable to any style of dance while also instilling discipline, a solid work ethic, and a passion for dance and its history. The Joffrey Ballet School- American Ballet Center is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Dance (NASD). The Summer Intensive exposes students to a rigorous and exciting ballet program. The School invites master teachers to join our renowned faculty who give instruction in a professional setting while challenging each student to reach the peak of their potential. While attending the Summer Intensive program in New York, students will also be exposed to New York’s unparalleled dance community. Not only will students receive world class training, they will also have the opportunity to see performances by New York’s resident companies, such as American Ballet Theater and New York City Ballet, along with other major American and international dance companies. The Summer Intensive is a one to eight week summer intensive course which culminates in a student performance at a local theater on the last day of the program. The intensive is intended to provide as much flexibility for a student’s summer schedule as possible. Instruction during both periods is designed to flow seamlessly between the two. Students are encouraged to attend as many weeks as possible to obtain the greatest benefit from the program.
