Footsteps from Washington Square Park, Joffrey Ballet School offers families preeminent instruction. The school stands at the forefront of American dance education and classical ballet training. Joffrey, the official school of the prestigious Joffrey Ballet Company, develops the dancer in all ages and abilities, including parents. The Children’s Division (ages 3-6), encompasses six one-week half-day sessions, beginning June 13, and is developed around a theme, ex: Swan Lake. The Young Dancer’s Program (ages 8-12) has two half-day programs: one for young dancer’s ages 7-9 and one for young dancers ages 10-12. This program is divided into three two-week sessions. In these programs young dancers amass the body strength, coordination, discipline to further their acquisition of ballet technique. Led by experienced instructors, many of whom have danced with the Joffrey Company— the Joffrey Ballet School nurtures novices to dedicated young dancers in a caring and safe environment. For more seasoned dancers, the Summer Intensive Program, running from June 13-August 5, prepares students ages 12-21 who are interested in a professional dance career in an intensive program that runs six days a week. All students enjoy instruction accompanied by live piano music in classic ballet studios equipped with sprung Marley dance floors and floor-to-ceiling mirrors. The building is equipped with dressing rooms, lockers, showers, restrooms and offices. Some of the summer students perform at NYU’s pristine Skirball Performing Arts Center as a culmination of their eight weeks of hard work. This summer, Joffrey offers summer day camps for children ages 3-9 and intensives for children ages 10-13. Programs run from June 13-August 5.
