In our Ballet Trainee Program, guest faculty member Doug Baum doogbaum joined us in the studio this week, bringing the insight and consistency he has long shared as a valued member of our Summer Intensives faculty. His approach encouraged dancers to move beyond complexity and uncover the depth within simplicity.⁠ ⁠ Throughout class, the focus remained on clarity, with every tendu, transition, and shift of weight approached with intention and control. Dancers were guided to commit fully to clean lines, precise musicality, and thoughtful execution in every phrase.⁠ ⁠ Our trainees met the challenge with maturity, concentration, and a clear dedication to refining even the smallest details.⁠ ⁠ 📸 laylamshoo⁠ ⁠ #joffreyballetschool #ballettraineeprogram #ballettrainees #classicaltraining #nycdance
