The Joffrey NY Jazz & Contemporary Summer Intensive: SPECTRUM, led by Artistic Director Angelica Stiskin, bridges the worlds of concert and commercial dance to develop versatile, adaptable, and expressive artists. Through a rigorous and diverse training experience, dancers expand their technical range, explore multiple movement vocabularies, and deepen the artistry and performance skills needed to navigate today’s dance industry.

A Jazz & Contemporary audition is required for admission to this intensive. Students may audition in person or digitally. Students must be 8 years old by June 7, 2027 in order to audition and be considered for this program.
Students do not need to attend a separate audition for every Summer Intensive they are interested in. By completing a Jazz & Contemporary audition, dancers are automatically considered for all Summer Intensives within the Jazz & Contemporary 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 Ballet, Contemporary, Jazz, Street Jazz, Modern, Hip Hop, Theater Dance, Lyrical, Improvisation, Social Dance, African Dance, Floorwork, Repertory, Conditioning, and Yoga/Meditation. 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.

Dancers are assigned to training groups based on their audition and age and may be additionally evaluated during the first day of classes.
Studio assignments are determined by program scheduling, group placement, and enrollment. Requests for a particular studio location cannot be accommodated.
For students registered for housing, residence hall assignments are made based on several factors, which may include age, gender, program selection, dates of attendance, and available space. Requests for specific dorm building assignments cannot be guaranteed.

Musicals are not assigned until the week before the students arrive. Guests will only be able to purchase tickets after musicals are assigned.

All activities are chaperoned by staff.

Staff will escort Housing students from the dorm/studio to the activity, attend the activity with them and escort them back to the dorm. In the event that a Housing student will not have enough time to travel back to the dorm after class, they will need to pack for the day accordingly.

Students who do not pick up a meal at breakfast will not have a meal saved for them.

Departure from the dorm/studio: Students must arrive at the departure location at the assigned time. Please note that for some activities, you will only have a few minutes between class and the departure time to eat and get dressed.

Arrival at the venue: Commuter students who did not travel with the group, must meet at the designated spot by the assigned time.

During the activity: All students should listen to staff and should be exhibiting proper etiquette. Students are not allowed to be on their phone or talk during a performance, climb over seats, etc. A staff member will address them if they do not behave accordingly. Please do not disrespect the staff members.

After the activity: ALL STUDENTS (Housing and Commuter) must meet at the designated spot where attendance will be taken. Commuter students are not allowed to leave until they are dismissed and accounted for. Housing students must travel back to the dorm with the group.

Tickets will be distributed at the venue before the event.

If a Commuter student is not present after distribution of tickets is complete for a show, their name will be written on the back of the ticket and left at the box office. Please note that some shows do not allow late seating and that patrons who arrive late to an activity other than a show will not be able to attend the activity.

JBS does not officially honor seating requests. Traditionally the group tickets are reserved together. Some seats might not be located in the same row or section as the rest of the group. Although seating requests are not guaranteed, we will try our best to honor them. Tickets left at the box office for late comers might not be located together or with the rest of the group.
