It’s the first day of the Fall Semester at Joffrey Ballet School, and we are thrilled to welcome our new and returning Ballet Trainees for the 2025–2026 year! At the core of our school is ballet—the foundation of our training and the art form that guides every step in the studio. Rooted in this tradition, our dancers carry forward our core values: striving for excellence, creating opportunities, and igniting artistry. This season will be filled with discipline, dedication, and growth as our Trainees strengthen their technique and explore their artistry, building the foundation for their professional careers. Here’s to a year of hard work, passion, and possibility. Welcome Ballet Trainees! 📸 laylamshoo #joffreyballetschool #2025season #trainees #newyorkcity #ballet #firstday
