Our Jazz and Contemporary trainees are diving into the artistry of partnering under the guidance of faculty member Blake Krapels blakekrapels , assisted by alumna Laura Sola _laurasola . In this class, dancers learn to balance strength with sensitivity as they explore weight sharing, timing, and trust. Each exercise encourages clear communication and confident risk taking, helping dancers refine the technical precision and collaborative awareness that partnering demands. With every lift, counterbalance, and connection, they continue building the dynamic foundation that will shape their work on stage. 🎟️ Click the “Cadence” link in bio to get your tickets today! 📅 December 9–11, 2025 | Ailey Citigroup Theater. 📸 laylamshoo #joffreyballetschool #jazzandcontemporary #partnering #nycdance #danceeducation #joffreynyc #cadence #rehearsal #artistry
