Wellness is built into the curriculum of our NYC Pre-Professional Contemporary Intensive, giving dancers the tools to sustain both their bodies and artistry. Under the guidance of Joffrey Ballet School’s Director of Health & Wellness, Karla Beltchenko lovekarlabel , students take part in yoga classes designed to strengthen the body, improve flexibility, and cultivate focus. These practices not only support injury prevention and recovery but also foster a deeper mind-body connection that enhances performance. By integrating yoga into their training, dancers develop the resilience and awareness needed to thrive.
