At this time students are not required to wear a mask for the 2023 summer intensives in NYC. Students will be required to wear a mask (for a set amount of days) if they are identified as a close contact for a COVID-19 case.

With the Federal Government ending the COVID-19 Health Emergency on May 11, 2023 the Joffrey Ballet School will be removing the COVID-19 Testing requirement for students attending the program. Dancers DO NOT need to test prior to their arrival to the program. We do still recommend that dancers test themselves if they are feeling ill or have come into contact with someone who has been infected with COVID-19 prior to starting the program or checking into housing.

At this time, dancers are not required to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to participate in the summer intensives.

Students will be required to provide their vaccination status. If students are vaccinated against COVID-19, they will be required to submit their vaccination card.

A completed physical or physician’s note from within the last 12 months is required and should be completed before a dancer begins their selected intensive. If you have a completed physical examination for your dancer from within the last calendar year, you can substitute it in place of the Doctor’s note. The letter must state that the dancer is healthy and physically able to participate in the summer program. This form will be submitted at the student’s program orientation. A complete physical is not necessary. Sample Doctor’s Note

Las Vegas programs provide meals (breakfast and dinner) for students staying in housing. Lunch is not provided. Students may purchase food daily, have food delivered, or bring/prepare their own food.

We recommend that students pack a healthy lunch and snacks to eat between meals. A cooler bag is suggested for any perishable items. Due to severe food allergies, dancers are not permitted to pack anything with nuts (or nut products) in their lunch. Students will go on a grocery run every Sunday to get groceries for the next week.

Parents are also welcome to drop off meals for their students at the studio.
