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, Modern, Jazz, and Contemporary. 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, Ballet San Antonio, Colburn School, Edge Performing Arts Center, Regional Dance America, The New Orleans Ballet Association, North Carolina School of the Arts, The Ballet Alliance, Odyssey Dance Theatre, Solevita Dance Company, Pasadena Dance Theatre, and Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular” at Disney’s California Adventure.
CLASSES
Each day begins with two Foundational Technique classes with one additional class after. Workshops usually begin at 10:00am and finish at 2:30pm. We suggest that students who participate take 3 or more technique classes per week at their home studio.
