Trial classes are not required for the Children's Program. We understand that young children may require the opportunity to try out any new activity. Our trial class program gives the child and their family an opportunity to take a class to determine if the program is a good fit before registering for a semester commitment. Registration requires a financial commitment for the semester.

Placement classes are required for the Youth Program. Placement classes allow our Artistic Team to fully evaluate prospective students to determine which level in the Joffrey Ballet curriculum is the most appropriate fit. The level assigned by the Artistic Director for the placement class is not the finalized level placement for the semester.

Placement classes are not required for the Community Program. Dancers may register for the Beginner or Teen Ballet classes without a placement class. If a dancer would like to request a placement class to determine if it is a good fit, they may email [email protected].

Our Etiquette, Dress Code, and Studio Rules are outlined here:

When your son/daughter misses a class, they can attend a make-up class at or below their level at any time during the school year. To take a makeup class, you must email [email protected], of your intention to attend a Make up class. We will notify the teacher of your attendance.

Masks are currently not required at the Joffrey Ballet School. Visitors who wish to wear masks are, of course, welcome to do so.
