Young Dancer Weekend - (No Audition Required)

Dates: 06/11/10 – 06/13/10

The Joffrey Ballet School’s Young Dancer ballet intensive is designed for young dancers with a love for dance and that want to immerse themselves in the art of ballet. This program gives youngest beginning dance students a taste of the intensive routine, while only spending two nights away from home. This intensive is designed to prepare the student for the level of technique and artistry required for the Junior Trainee Summer Intensive. Students are systematically taught ballet exercises at the barre and center floor, progressing towards more complex combinations.
There are 25 spots in each level of this program. Audition is NOT required for this age group. Students will be taken on a first-applied, first-accepted basis.
The Joffrey Ballet School Young Dancer program is designed to systematically and progressively educate the young dancer in the seven basic movements of dance: to bend, to extend, to rise, to glide, to jump, to dart, and to turn.
The Joffrey Ballet School program is sensitive to the physical and mental development of the individual rather than having an expectation based on age. The objective is to empower the young dancer through coordination exercises in ballet that are appropriate for their stage of physical and mental development.

Junior Trainee - Intermediate Workshop (Audition Required)

One Week Session:    06/13/10 – 06/19/10
Two Week Session:    06/20/10 – 07/02/10
Three Week Session: 06/13/10 – 07/02/10


The Joffrey South Workshop offers intermediate students ages 11-16 a one-to-three-week, in-depth ballet experience. Daily technique will be offered in ballet, pointe, variations, and new choreography. This workshop will culminate in a student demonstration on the final day of the third week. This is a wonderful introduction to summer dance away from the familiarity of the student’s home studio. Students participate in six, twelve or eighteen days of ballet, pointe, and variations, augmented with a foot care seminar, history of ballet, and other dance related classes. Emphasis will also be placed upon body conditioning.
Classes will continue as recreational/enrichment dance classes. Students enrolling in the the Junior Trainee Summer intensive must audition to be placed in an appropriate level.

Disclaimer: The Two Week Session and and the Three week Sessions will participate in a performance demonstration at Russell Auditiorium on July 2.

Advanced Trainee - Advanced Workshop (Audition Required)

One Week Session:    06/13/10 – 06/19/10
Two Week Session:    06/20/10 – 07/02/10
Three Week Session: 06/13/10 – 07/02/10


This Joffrey South Workshop offers advanced students ages 15-21 a three-week, in-depth ballet experience. Daily technique will be offered in ballet, pointe, variations, pas der deux, broadway, jazz and new choreography. On the final day of the program students will perform in a demonstration on the stage at Russell Auditorium. Students attending this Joffrey South Workshop will be considered for enrollment in the Joffrey Ballet School’s year-long program in New York City. Emphasis will also be placed upon body conditioning.
The goal is to train young dancers in the classical ballet technique, artistry and versatility required for an active career in a professional company. Further, the Trainee Program frequently provides disciplined dancers with the opportunity to perform in professional arenas while continuing their training. The Trainee Program demands a deep commitment on the part of the students.

About Historic Milledgeville
Step back in time to the antebellum capital of Georgia. Milledgeville was the political center of Georgia from 1803 to 1868, when the capital was moved to Atlanta. Modeled after Savannah, Georgia, and Washington, D.C., the city is home to many historic downtown buildings: the Old State Capitol (1807), the John Marlor Arts Center (1830), Sacred Heart Catholic Church (1874), and many other sites and homes that date from the early 1800's, including Memory Hill Cemetery. A short drive from downtown is Lockerly Arboretum, a forty-five acre site ideal for picnics and afternoon walks.
