Joffrey Miami Ballet Summer Intensive
The Joffrey Miami Ballet Intensive offers a transformative training experience for dedicated young dancers seeking to refine their classical technique and artistry. Through focused, individualized instruction, students will make significant progress in alignment, placement, coordination, and musical expression, while deepening their understanding of ballet as both a technical and theatrical art form.
Morning classes focus on classical ballet technique, including barre, center work, petit and grand allegro, and pointe or pre-pointe training. Students also study classical variations appropriate to their level, developing performance quality and interpretive skills. Afternoon classes expand their versatility with training in modern dance, jazz, and flamenco, equipping them with the technical range demanded of a 21st century ballet dancer.
Guided by an exceptional faculty of experienced teachers and industry professionals, dancers benefit from daily coaching, personal feedback, and opportunities to engage in higher education and career discussions.
Each week concludes with an informal showing, where families and guests can celebrate the dancers’ growth and dedication in an inspiring display of their progress.
