Our Jazz & Contemporary Trainees bring the studio to life in faculty member Aspen Waddell's aspenwaddell jazz class, meeting each phrase with strength, precision, and fearless drive. The work demands sharpness and control, but also the willingness to stretch beyond limits—discovering freedom within discipline.⁠ ⁠ We are grateful for Aspen’s fierce energy in leading this class and for our entire faculty who inspire our dancers to dig deeper every day. It is in classes like this that strength turns into artistry, and discipline transforms into joy.⁠ ⁠ We can’t wait for Legacy Week starting Monday. A week dedicated to honoring where we’ve come from and the artists who shaped our story, and to inspiring the next generation to carry it forward. Stay tuned as we highlight each class and each movement throughout the week.⁠ ⁠ 📸 laylamshoo⁠ ⁠ #joffreyballetschool #jazz #trainees #contemporary #newyorkcity
