Joffrey Miami Ballet Summer Intensive

There will be two virtual program orientations for each intensive. The first orientation will be a video that students will receive a week before their arrival. The second virtual orientation is mandatory and will take place on Thursday, July 15 at 7:00 PM EST. Students will receive the ZOOM information in their Welcome email.

Schedules will be posted on the website and group assignments will be emailed no later than a week before a student’s arrival.

IMPORTANT: Pre-determined group assignments are based on the dancer’s age and the audition score received during the audition tour. The same applies to those who were scored using a digital audition. ➠Students attending one week will not be able to move groups. All students are evaluated during their first week of attendance to ensure they are in the proper group. Unfortunately due to policies designed to limit the spread of COVID-19 we cannot mix groups of students during the week so it’s not possible to move a student until their second week. Additionally, we may not be able to move a student if the other group is at capacity due to social distancing requirements.

Joffrey Ballet School’s Miami Ballet Intensive will present an In Studio showing. The performance will be streamed live for audience members to join us virtually. The ZOOM information for the performance will be shared during the week of the intensive.

All performances will adhere to COVID-19 safety protocols.

No parents, guardians or visitors are allowed to be in the building. All students must be dropped off and picked up in the parking garage on the ground level.

All students are required to wear a fitted cloth mask, covering the nose and mouth at all times throughout the JBS premises. Bring multiple clean masks, at minimum 1 mask per class to be taken, to allow you to change into a clean one as needed; sweat saturation makes masks ineffective.

All students attending a live/in-person JBS program must get a COVID-19 PCR or rapid test within the 3 days prior to arrival and submit the (negative) test result before their arrival. (This includes any students who have previously received a COVID-19 vaccination.)

If a student is attending 1 to 4 consecutive weeks in a single location, they will only need to submit test results at the beginning of their first week (not weekly).

Students attending 5 or more consecutive weeks must get a second COVID-19 test (and submit their results) during their 4th week (prior to the start of their 5th week). Housing students 17 and younger will be escorted by Joffrey staff members to get their test.

COVID-19 vaccinations are encouraged, but are not a requirement to attend a Joffrey Ballet School summer intensive.

A completed physical or physician’s note from within the last 12 months are 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 Dr’s note.

A hard copy of a doctor’s note giving health clearance for a dancer’s attendance will need to be provided by any student attending a live on-person summer program. 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.
