Spring Semester starts January 5th - June 6th, 2009
Children's Division 2008 - 2009 Spring Semester Open Enrollment from January 5, 2009 to January 31, 2009. Registration for Spring is Now Open. Register early to guarantee a spot in your preferred 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: Dance with Me and Creative Movement (2 ½ – 4 years old), Pre-Ballet (5 – 6 years old), & Ballet Foundation, Ballet Levels 1 – 5 & Teen (7 – 15 years old). Please see under course description for detailed information of each classes including the schedule.
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. 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.
To register please download proper registration forms (see under forms) and return to the school. If your child is age 8 and above, he or she must attend a placement class. Please call the office at 212-254-8520 for more information.
