Wrap up your summer with the Joffrey Experience, a summer dance intensive focused on contemporary dance, contemporary ballet and improvisation. For six years, the Joffrey Ballet School has offered the Joffrey Experience as an opportunity for dancers to learn not just dance technique but other aspects of dance that they will need to understand in order to become a working dancer.

Led by Artistic Director Matthew Prescott, dancers will focus on dance and performance technique, photography direction, choreography and creative process, and more. Dancers will have the opportunity to take part in a professional photo shoot and build their portfolio while developing their power and artistry.
Experience the Joffrey difference at this unique summer dance intensive; have you ever wanted to be trained in a small class setting by your idols of dance? The JBS experience allows you to be trained by your celebrity idols daily and grow as a dancer. You will learn from Michael Dameski, Isabella Boylston, Ben Cook and many others. They are eager to share their knowledge and experiences with you.
The Joffrey Experience summer dance intensive takes place over the course of two weeks, from August 10 through August 21. The intensive is for dancers between the ages of 8 and 25, from beginning through pre-professional. At the end of each week, dancers will perform for parents at the Gelsey Kirkland Performing Arts Center. It’s a great way to end the summer.
Life in New York – Focus on Dance and Culture
Dancers joining us for our Hip Hop, Jazz and Contemporary or Joffrey Experience summer dance intensives will be very busy between 9 am and 5 pm learning new dance moves and improving their technique and artistry. But the learning doesn’t stop when class is over! Dance students in our intensives will also experience New York’s culture through attendance at dance and theater performances, and will be able to participate in visits to museums and other cultural destinations.
How to Apply for the Joffrey’s Summer Dance Intensives
Dancers are selected for our intensives through a rigorous audition process that helps to ensure each dancer is placed at the correct level for their intensive. The auditions are a 90 minute class with one of the Joffrey’s master instructors. Auditions are held in multiple locations around the United States and in Europe. Auditions are $40; dancers unable to travel to auditions may be able to submit a video audition.
