The Joffrey Switzerland Summer Intensive, led by Artistic Director Angela Rebelo, offers dancers an immersive training experience that bridges classical and contemporary dance in Geneva, Switzerland. Through a rigorous and supportive environment, students refine technique, deepen artistry, and develop the precision, versatility, and professional habits required of today’s dancers. Classes are taught in English.

A Ballet or Jazz & Contemporary audition is required for admission to this intensive. Students may audition in person or digitally.
Students do not need to attend a separate audition for every Summer Intensive they are interested in. By completing a Ballet or Jazz & Contemporary audition, dancers are automatically considered for all Summer Intensives within that audition style for which they meet the stated age requirements.

Students train in a full-day intensive environment designed to build technique, artistry, versatility, and professional training habits. A typical day begins with classes in the morning, followed by an approximately 30–45 minute lunch break, with short 5–15 minute breaks between classes. Training then continues through the late afternoon or early evening with additional classes, specialty training, and/or rehearsals.
The curriculum may include Classical Ballet Technique, Contemporary Ballet, Pointe, Contemporary Dance, Pilates, and Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT). Please note that certain classes may be offered only to select levels based on age, placement, and experience. Registered students will receive an exact schedule the week before the intensive start date.
