No parents, guardians or visitors are allowed to be in the building. All students must be dropped off outside, in front of the building entrance.

A completed physical or physician’s note from within the last 12 months is 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 Doctor’s note. 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. Sample Doctor’s Note

• Students 13 and younger are not allowed to leave a Joffrey Ballet School building without a staff member.
• Students 14 and older are allowed to leave the building during lunch breaks, but must travel with other students who are also 14 and older.
• Students 13 and younger will not be allowed to leave the building with students 14 and older.

There will be no escorted trips during lunch breaks to/from the studios. Students must pack a lunch and snacks to eat between meals.

Joffrey Ballet School offers an optional studio lunch plan for housing and commuter students. We are very excited to announce Butter Beans Kitchen as the new vendor for the optional lunch plan in New York City. Lunch will be delivered to the studios Monday – Friday. Please note that housing students who signed up for the housing meal plan at the dorm will only receive breakfast and dinner. Students must sign up for the studio lunch plan at least 2 weeks before their arrival.

Due to severe food allergies, dancers are not permitted to pack anything with nuts in their lunch.

The sample menu in the manual displays examples of food items that you can expect to be served for the studio lunch plan. Students are able to note dietary restrictions when registering for the summer and meals will be adjusted accordingly. We do not recommend the studio lunch plan for students who have severe dietary restrictions or very specific food preferences. If the vendor is not able to accommodate a specific request in advance of you joining the program, Joffrey will let you know and you will have the option to cancel your studio lunch plan and receive a refund. This does not include students who update their preferences after they have arrived. Students will not be able to cancel the studio lunch plan after they have arrived and started the program. 

The Administrative team consists of Summer Coordinators, Office Managers and a group of Administrative Assistants who work with the Director of Operations and Artistic Directors at the studios. The team facilitates daily operations and handles crises or emergencies should they arise.

All of our summer interns take part in a robust selection process that includes a formal application, one-on-one interviews, group evaluations and background checks. Most of our interns are currently attending university or have graduated. All candidates must have a dance background or share an appreciation for performing arts.
