What is the

JoffreyRED

Contemporary Ballet
Pre-Professional Program

What exactly IS our year-round Pre-Professional Program, and why is it one of the best ways for a young aspiring dancer to pursue a dance career?

The JoffreyRED Contemporary Ballet Pre-Professional Program, in association with BalletRED, is a fused training ground for an elite group of advanced dancers worldwide led by Artistic Director and Choreographer Josie Walsh.

Fostering creative collaborations with up-and-coming choreographers, our elite dancers will premiere original contemporary full-length works created on them by our cutting-edge choreographers throughout the season. In addition, our dancers will work in tandem with BalletRED productions when the company is in season.

Our Choreographer residencies allow our students to train and receive mentorship in their unique contemporary techniques during class, which will go into an in-depth rehearsal process. These residencies will culminate into entirely produced cutting-edge concert dance shows three times a year.

The JoffreyRED Contemporary Ballet Pre-Professional Program is an artistic hub of rigorous classical and contemporary training, choreography, performing, exploration, and pushing the boundaries of creativity.

JoffreyRED cultivates highly skilled, versatile artists with strong voices to become the next generation of creative leaders.
