Joffrey Ballet School

Study Hip Hop and Contemporary With Us in Tampa, Florida!

Joffrey is offering two, two-week summer dance intensives with Artistic Directors Lisette and David Lucas in Tampa, Florida. Our intensives in “The Big Guava” include the Summer of Hip Hop dance intensive and the Contemporary Ballet intensive from July 27 through August 7. These intensives run simultaneously, so dancers will need to choose one or the other.

David Lucas

Lissette Lucas

 

Instruction for the Tampa intensives is led by Lisette and David Lucas, founders of Shake The Ground (STG). For 5 years, the Lucases have been the Artistic Directors of Joffrey’s NYC Hip Hop summer dance intensives and now they are expanding the program to south Florida, bringing with them many of the talented instructors and dance professionals that have made our New York Hip Hop intensive so famous.

For the Ballet intensive, the Lucases are joined by a team of international contemporary ballet stars and master instructors, teaching classical and contemporary ballet, contemporary dance, pointe, improv, partnering and choreography. Classes are held from 9 am to 5 pm each day, Monday through Friday. Each day’s classes end with a rehearsal leading up to an in-studio performance at the end of each session.

Classes, performances and housing all take place on the campus of the University of South Florida. The Tampa intensives are for dancers between the ages of 8 and 25; housing is available for dancers ages 12 and up.
