Academy and Community Engagement Programs:Joffrey Academy of Dance, Official School of The Joffrey Ballet, is committed to providing a world-class education built on a foundation of classical ballet to students of all ages, levels and backgrounds who have a desire to dance. With the talents cultivated at the Joffrey Academy, students can pursue careers as professional dancers at companies throughout the world, higher education opportunities in dance, or success in other fields. Through the Joffrey Academy's programs, students develop a diverse set of skills including artistry, creativity, discipline and confidence, among others. In fiscal 2012, 1,106 students participated in the Joffrey Academy's programs (this number does not include the adult drop-in classes). The primary goal of The Joffrey Ballet's Community Engagement programs is to provide students in all grade levels with a highly structured dance experience where they will develop life skills articulated by Illinois State Board of Education's social emotional learning (SEL) standards such as self-discipline, respect, and confidence through the study of various forms of dance. In addition, these programs help build a strong dance foundation by focusing on correct posture, placement, coordination, strength, flexibility and musicality. By providing this service to disadvantaged youth, we hope to increase the level of awareness of this art form, and instill life skills that last long after programs end. In fiscal 2012, 1,184 students benefited from The Joffrey Ballet's Community Engagement programs.The Joffrey Academy and Community Engagement programs provide high-quality, educational training which form future audiences and support for The Joffrey Ballet and build the organization's reputation worldwide.
