Day One of our Joffrey Akron Summer Intensive has officially begun, and the energy in the studios is full of possibility. As dancers from across the region step into this brand-new intensive, they are met with a schedule designed to challenge, inspire, and transform.⁠ ⁠ This two-week, multi-genre program offers rigorous training across disciplines—building versatility, stamina, and confidence. From ballet to contemporary, jazz to conditioning, each class is crafted to refine technique and expand artistic range.⁠ ⁠ Led by Artistic Director Colleen Barnes colleenbarnes10 and our exceptional faculty, the experience is both focused and supportive—an environment where dancers are encouraged to push their limits and grow quickly.
