Joffrey Concert Group
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.
Enroll today to join our performance, as an addition to your Children's or Youth Fall 2024 Registration.

NYC Trainee Program
Ballet Track, Jazz & Contemporary Track and the joffrey Concert GroupContinuum: Our Kinetic Lineage
Join us for our first combined Performance Week, Continuum: Our Kinetic Lineage, a powerful shared performance uniting dancers from both the Ballet and Jazz & Contemporary tracks of the Pre-Professional Trainee Program at Joffrey Ballet School.
This landmark week celebrates lineage, evolution, and possibility, bringing together artists who train across disciplines yet share a singular commitment to excellence. Through bold classical foundations, contemporary voices, and jazz-inflected movement, Continuum illuminates the technical rigor, stylistic range, and artistic curiosity that define the school’s training philosophy.
Each work traces the living thread between tradition and innovation. Dancers inherit, question, and transform movement across generations, revealing technique not as something fixed, but as a vibrant and ever-evolving language. Here, the past fuels the present, and the future takes shape in real time on stage.
The Pre-Professional Trainee Program celebrates dancers as both stewards and architects of what comes next, embodying a kinetic lineage that connects where we have been, where we are, and what is yet to come.
