As we wrap up Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, we’re proud to celebrate the voices, talents, and contributions of our AAPI community at Joffrey Ballet School's Summer Intensives.⁠ ⁠ Throughout this month, we have been sharing a series of features across our social media platforms, highlighting past and present faculty, choreographers, and artists through archived photos and videos.⁠ ⁠ Last summer we had the pleasure of having faculty members Mira Nadon, Maria Oka, Yoshito Sakuraba, and Yuka Fukuda teach our students. Each of these extraordinary faculty were fully invested in shaping each dancer’s technique and artistry through exceptional instruction, coaching, and mentoring.⁠ ⁠ This month was truly a celebration of the extraordinary Asian American and Pacific Islander artists who have inspired the dance community here at Joffrey Ballet School and beyond.⁠ ⁠ #joffreyballetschool #aapimonth #aapiartists
