Joffrey Akron is a rigorous two-week multi-genre intensive which focuses on the study of technique across multiple genres. Dancers will have the opportunity to improve technique, artistry, versatility, and overall stamina in preparation for the fall dance season. Train with world-class Joffrey faculty in an intimate and nurturing environment, where you are sure to see major improvement in a short amount of time. A weekly seminar on anatomy for dancers and injury prevention will be taught by Artistic Director Colleen Barnes. For those who wish to stay on campus, the dormitory and dining hall are conveniently within walking distance of the dance building, making it easy for dancers to take a short walk among these three buildings and experience life on campus at the University of Akron.
