The program orientation will be virtual and is mandatory for all students. Students will receive the ZOOM information in their Welcome email.

Wednesday, July 13 at 6:00 PM PST for students starting on July 18.

Wednesday, July 20 at 6:00 PM PST for students starting on July 24.

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 is committed to providing an inclusive environment for all students. Non-gender conforming students, students with religious and cultural considerations and any student needing additional support is welcome to contact us to discuss the dress code. Please contact our Customer Service department with any dress code questions and/or concerns.

Joffrey Ballet School will present a culminating performance of original works choreographed on the students by our esteemed choreographers, for students who are attending both weeks of the intensive. Masks will not be required for dancers when performing onstage.

No parents, guardians or visitors are allowed to be in the building.

Masks are optional, but not required for the Joffrey West intensive.

All in-person students will be required to submit a negative COVID-19 PCR or Rapid test, administered within 4 days before arrival at our dorms or start date of the intensive. Vaccination is not required, but recommended for the Joffrey West 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 during the dancer’s online pre-check in process. A complete physical  is not necessary.

You can use our standard form or your doctor can provide their own letter or physical.

CHECK OUT

Students must check out of the hotel before they leave for classes on the Friday of their last week. Joffrey will provide storage for students who would like to pick up their belongings after classes. All belongings must be picked up on Friday. Housing students are required to schedule a check out time and will be required to move out during that time. Dancers staying at the hotel hall for multiple weeks do not have to check out during the weekends.

Joffrey Housing staff will provide an escort to/from the hotel on a sign-up basis for all housing students. Students under 18 will be accompanied by a Joffrey staff member at all times. This includes daily trips to/from the assigned studio. The students will have scheduled meeting times each morning to meet to travel together to the studios. They will also have a scheduled travel group to return to the housing locations for evening check in.

All students will be assigned to double bedrooms. Students may request roommates under the following conditions: Roommates must reside in housing for the same period of time and must attend the same intensive and be assigned to the same group.

Please note that although we will make every effort to accommodate requests, it might not always be possible. Roommate Requests are $100 per dancer. If we are unable to honor a request, the resident will receive a credit towards their tuition.

*Groups are not assigned until a few days before a student’s arrival. If students who requested to be roommates are placed in different groups, they will have the option to be placed in the same group (that will be assigned by the Artistic Director) or to receive a refund for the request.
