Children's Ballet
Ages 2 – 7 in our Long Island City studiosWe make dance fun while learning. Classes rooted in the foundation of ballet begin at age 2 and build to age 7. The curriculum was created to encourage age appropriate creativity, musicality, and physicality. Your child will dance and have fun with an emphasis on the foundations of ballet. Dancers will be guided through creative movement, basic ballet steps, and more!
For students who are new to dance we offer the opportunity to take a trial class before registering!

Performances
The Nutcracker & Peter PanThe 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 many opportunities to dancers 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.

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 required 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
