Ages 2+This class has been specially designed for 2 year olds who are not yet comfortable being in a class alone. Each child is joined in the class by a parent or caregiver who will be the child’s “dancing partner”. We use proven movement exercises, games, stories and other activities. These dancers are introduced to the joy of creative movement in a fun, family friendly musical setting.

The Nutcracker
Students from the Joffrey Ballet School’s Children's & Youth Ballet program will present the full two act holiday tradition, “The Nutcracker” at LaGuardia Performing Arts Center.
As a work for students, it is an ideal challenge and gives our dancers many opportunities from the "babies" to the young adults as a collaboration with the Ballet Trainee Program. Set to what is regarded as Tchaikovsky's best ballet score, the story tells the courage and love of a small girl, Clara, in breaking the wicked spell held over the Nutcracker Prince.

Trial Class, Questions & Comments
Joffrey Dance Center is located at 47-10 Austell Pl, 4th Floor, Long Island City, NY 11101
Joffrey Ballet School understands 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.
A trial class is not required but recommended since registration requires a student to commit to the term. The $20 fee for this trial class will be credited to the dancer's account if they choose to register. This fee is non-refundable.
Joffrey Ballet School is located at 434 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10011
