The Joffrey Workshop has been educating dancers since 1978. It is our mission to provide a welcoming space for all.

We honor Mr. Joffrey's legacy by sharing the importance of tradition in concert dance, and by creating positive and exciting learning environments for the next generation of dancers.

We've designed a process that makes it easy for you to share the positive traditions of concert dance - without ever having to leave your studio. Share the beauty of concert dance with your students - Book your workshop today!

As dancers and choreographers, we've had many beautiful experiences throughout our careers. We've also had tough moments, which is part of what has shaped our passion for a healthier approach to dance education today.

We believe it's possible to bring forward the richness and beauty of concert dance traditions while moving past the unhealthy parts we experienced.

As teachers, we strive to meet students where they are. Clarity, consent, and trauma-informed teaching are at the core of what we do, and we encourage students to be their most authentic selves in the classroom.

Our dress codes have been updated to ensure all students feel welcome and to reflect what is being implemented in professional dance companies. Additionally, our faculty partakes in continuing education and are well-versed in subjects like cultural awareness and youth mental health.

We can't wait to share The Joffrey Workshop with you!

• Two day events are $299 per student. Three day events are $399 per student.

*Arpino Repertoire: Gerald Arpino was the Joffrey Ballet's co-founder and Resident Choreographer. We’ve partnered with The Gerald Arpino Foundation to teach portions of the ballets he created for the Joffrey Ballet. This one of a kind collaboration allows students to learn choreography usually danced by professional artists.

The Joffrey Workshop is an experience that cannot be matched. From the teachers to the other students, it’s a new experience every time and one I hope to be able to continue experiencing as long as I’m able.

Emily S.

My daughter enjoyed it so much! I loved that you incorporated the element of educating the dancers about the history of the Joffrey, and that you expected professionalism and a dress code. It was wonderful! Thank you for coming to this area and offering such a wonderful workshop!
