Nestled in the campus of the University of Georgia in Athens, the Joffrey South Ballet Intensive is the ideal setting for the student who wishes to have an intimate, supportive, and rigorous training experience while simultaneously living on an iconic historic college campus. Students are challenged on a daily basis and given the tools they need to grow beyond their expectations under the artistic direction of Colleen Barnes.

The core curriculum of the Ballet Intensive includes 2 ballet technique classes per day, pointe/variations and conditioning each day, and one class per day in the jazz/contemporary mediums.

For dancers participating in the last week (June 24 – June 28) of the Intensive, the program will culminate with a fully produced joint performance with the Joffrey South Jazz & Contemporary Summer Intensive within the University of Georgia Department of Dance’s New Dance Theatre, giving the students a well-deserved sense of accomplishment for their summer studies.
