Joffrey Las Vegas Ballet Summer Intensive
The Joffrey Las Vegas Ballet Summer Intensive is designed to provide dancers with a comprehensive week of ballet training, encompassing the rich history of the Joffrey Ballet while exploring the evolution of ballet in the 21st century. Presented in Artistic Collaboration with Cirque du Soleil Casting, the program offers students a unique connection to the professional performance landscape of Las Vegas.
Students will delve into the foundations of classical ballet technique, honing their skills and artistry. The curriculum includes a mix of classical ballet classes, the study and performance of variations from renowned ballets, and explorations in contemporary ballet styles. This blend allows dancers to connect with the historical roots of ballet while expanding their movement vocabulary and preparing for the demands of today’s dance world. Daily ballet and pointe classes will enforce a strong technical base while additional classes in other dance forms will expand the students’ movement capabilities. The faculty is composed of working professionals, instructors, and choreographers who are prominent in the sphere of concert dance leading our students with expertise, refinement, and mentorship.
