Joffrey Ballet School proudly presents the Joffrey NY Jazz & Contemporary Winter Workshop, a dynamic 2.5-day, in-person dance experience from December 18–20, 2026. Hosted at our Manhattan studios in New York City, this immersive weekend explores the worlds of both concert and commercial dance, offering a comprehensive range of techniques and styles designed to cultivate true versatility. 

Families will also be invited to Tinsel Talk, the workshop’s signature panel conversation experience. Tinsel Talk will feature an inspiring lineup of guest artists and faculty in a moderated discussion on dance artistry, career pathways, and industry insight. 

Guest artists and our world-renowned faculty from the flagship New York City Jazz & Contemporary Summer Intensives return for an inspiring and unforgettable winter event. Dancers ages 10–25 are invited to train with us, expand their artistry, and jump-start the 2027 Audition Tour. 

As part of the weekend, dancers will have access to a designated Jazz & Contemporary audition for both summer intensive placement and the year-round Trainee & BFA Programs. Dancers can also choose to be considered for other summer intensive genres offered by the Joffrey Ballet School, including Ballet, Musical Theater, and Hip Hop. The weekend workshop provides access to audition across a multitude of styles! 

Celebrate the holiday season with Joffrey Ballet School — and step into the new year inspired! 

This workshop is part of the Summer Sampler series; a multi-day workshop to experience what we offer during the worldwide Joffrey Ballet School summer intensives. No audition is required to attend, however, the workshop is designed for dancers at an intermediate level or above.
