Within our Jazz & Contemporary Trainee Program, Acting Artistic Director Bradley Shelver bradshelver leads contemporary class with a focus on discovery and exploration. Trainees are encouraged to move with intention and take ownership of every choice they make.⁠ ⁠ “Be comfortable with making choices.”⁠ ⁠ This idea guides the process. Each phrase invites dancers to commit fully, trust their instincts, and approach the work with clarity and presence. From that place, individuality emerges, shaping performance from the inside out.⁠ ⁠ 📸 laylamshoo⁠ ⁠ #joffreyballetschool #jazzandcontemporarytraineeprogram #nycdance #contemporaryclass #danceeducation
