Midwest Summer Intensive

Joffrey Midwest is a dynamic, rigorous and immersive program combining Ballet Kontemp, Jazz, and Contemporary genres. Under the artistic direction of Meg Paul, students work with a group of world-renowned faculty who fully invest in shaping a dancer’s technique and artistry through exceptional instruction, coaching, and mentoring. Ballet Kontemp, Meg Paul’s stylized approach to contemporary ballet, combines classical ballet and contemporary techniques to enrich, encourage, and empower dancers. Students take Ballet Kontemp class as their first class of the day. They then split into two concentrations based on ability & age. Dancers are able to select a preference during registration which will be taken into consideration during placement. Depending on ability dancers may have exposure to both concentrations during the day.

• Ballet Kontemp Concentration: classes comprised of Pointe Kontemp, masterclasses, and Ballet Kontemp Repertory.
• Jazz & Contemporary Concentration: classes comprised of Jazz and Contemporary classes, masterclasses, and Jazz and Contemporary repertory.

The program culminates with a showcase performance featuring students in Ballet Kontemp, Jazz, and Contemporary Repertory. Dancers will also have the opportunity for professional individual photoshoots with Minty Photography and personalized coaching from Artistic Director Meg Paul. Space is limited!
