At the Joffrey Ballet School, our Ballet Trainees train as both classical and contemporary artists. From the discipline of barre and pointe to the freedom of contemporary movement, each day challenges them to push further, dance bolder, and discover their own artistry. This journey builds not just strong technique, but the versatility every professional dancer needs. The blend of these traditions isn’t just about technique. It’s about preparing artists who can step into any studio, rehearsal, or stage with confidence. Guided by mentors who know the realities of the profession, our trainees learn to adapt, collaborate, and create, shaping them into versatile performers ready for the evolving landscape of dance. Stay tuned as we share more moments from inside the studios. 📸 laylamshoo #joffreyballetschool #ballet #pointe #partnering #trainees #contemporary #newyorkcity
