Children's Division Spring Semester Open Enrollment from January 2, 2008 to February 9,2008. Registration for Spring is now Open. Register early to guarantee a spot in your prefereed class and time.
The Children’s Department at the Joffrey Ballet School offers classes based on a syllabus designed to develop the very young dancer. It emphasizes development of body strength, coordination and the discipline necessary for the learning of classical ballet. Although we take our training seriously, we strive to create a nurturing, comfortable, and fun atmosphere in the classroom. The children’s classes are divided into 3 categories: Creative Movement (3 & 4 yrs old), Pre-Ballet (5 – 6 yrs old), Ballet & Intermediate (7 – 15 yrs old).
At the end of each semester the Children’s Division participates in our school performances. These performances include our annual Nutcracker at NYU’s Skirball Center and our Spring Workshop (Sleeping Beauty this year). Additionally, the children are given a variety of opportunities to perform in public around the city. We also have an open house just for parents once a semester, when parents come to watch class and see a specially choreographed performance for them in one of our studios.
