The Joffrey Workshop has been educating dancers since 1978. It is our mission to provide a welcoming space for all.
We focus on concert dance techniques - Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, and Modern. Our knowledge of these techniques is our strength, and we feel confident in delivering them in detail to students.
Our dress codes have been updated to ensure students of color and gender nonconforming students feel welcome, and to reflect what is being done in professional dance companies.
We meet students where they are. Clarity and consent, combined with an encouraging atmosphere means students can be their most authentic selves in the classroom.
We honor Mr. Joffrey's legacy by sharing the important parts of concert dance tradition and we are also sure to not continue the negative parts.
Our credits include: The Joffrey Ballet, Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular” at Disney’s California Adventure, Ballet San Antonio, Odyssey Dance Theatre, Solevita Dance Company, Pasadena Dance Theatre, Colburn School, Edge Performing Arts Center, Regional Dance America, The New Orleans Ballet Association, North Carolina School of the Arts, and The Ballet Alliance.
