Joffrey Miami Ballet Summer Intensive

A Ballet audition is required for admission to this intensive. Students may audition in person or digitally. Students must be 8 years of age by June 7, 2027 to audition and be accepted for this program, and can not be over 18 years of age to attend.

Students do not need to attend a separate audition for every Summer Intensive. By completing a Ballet audition, dancers are automatically considered for all Summer Intensives within the Ballet audition genre for which they meet the age requirements.

Students train in a full-day intensive environment designed to build technique, artistry, versatility, and professional training habits. A typical day begins with classes in the morning, followed by an approximately 30–45 minute lunch break, with short 5–15 minute breaks between classes. Training then continues through the late afternoon or early evening with additional classes, specialty training, and/or rehearsals.

The curriculum may include Classical and Contemporary Ballet Technique, Pointe and Pre-Pointe, Ballet Variations, Ballet Repertoire, and Contemporary. Certain classes may be offered only to select levels based on age, placement, and experience. Registered students will receive an exact schedule the week before the intensive start date.

Registration is structured by week, giving students flexibility to build an intensive experience that fits their summer schedule. Students may register for any number of available weeks, and selected weeks do not need to be consecutive.

Students have the opportunity to participate in an informal showing each Friday, sharing their training and performance work at the end of each week. All students attending the intensive that week participate in the Friday showing.

Dancers are assigned to training groups based on their audition and age and may be additionally evaluated during the first day of classes. Studio assignments are determined by program scheduling, group placement, and enrollment.

For students registered for housing, residence hall assignments are based on factors which may include age, gender, program selection, dates of attendance, and available space. Requests for specific dorm buildings cannot be guaranteed.
