This week is our final stretch before the December countdown to The Nutcracker. Full in-studio run-throughs begin next week, and we can’t wait to see this holiday classic take shape on stage. Classical partnering is where technique meets trust. In these moments, dancers learn to move as one, sharing weight, guiding momentum, and supporting each other with precision and awareness. Every lift, turn, and assisted balance becomes an exercise in communication, artistry, and mutual confidence. As our trainees prepare for The Nutcracker, partnering work helps them build the connection, clarity, and stage readiness that transform choreography into storytelling.⁠ ⁠ 🎟️ Click “The Nutcracker” link in bio to get your tickets today!⁠ ⁠ 📅 December 12–14, 2025 | LaGuardia Performing Arts Center.⁠ ⁠ 📸 laylamshoo⁠ ⁠ #joffreyballetschool #ballettrainees #ballettraining #thenutcracker #nycdance #joffreynyc #danceeducation #pointework #balletrehearsal #holidayseason
