Ballet Intensive NYC (AGES 12 - 25)

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 seven 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. Students are admitted to either the Intensive or Performance track, based on his or her audition results. Instruction during both periods is designed to flow seamlessly between the two.

Young Dancer PROGRAM NYC (Ages 10 - 15)

CLICK ON IMAGE FOR MORE INFORMATION

The Joffrey Ballet School’s Young Dancer Program is designed for young students with a minimum of one year of ballet experience who love dance and want to immerse themselves in the art of ballet. This intensive is designed to prepare the student for the level of technique and artistry required for the upper level Summer Intensive in New York. Students are systematically taught ballet exercises at the barre and in center, progressing toward more complex combinations and work on pointe. It is not required that the student already be on pointe in order to audition. The intensive will be divided between those students on pointe and those students who are pre-pointe.

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. Our instructors are 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.

The Young Dancer Program provides education for students interested in a rigorous dance track. The student’s level will be determined by both age and ability. There are 25 students in each level of this program.

PERFORMANCE: Each two week session culminates with an in-house performance open to all.
