Joffrey Ballet School

The Joffrey Ballet School was founded in 1952 by Robert Joffrey and Gerald Arpino to develop and train professional dancers. Due to its unparalleled leadership and artistry, the school became and remains at the forefront of American dance education and classical ballet training. In the citation of the prestigious “Capezio Award”, conferred on Robert Joffrey in 1974, he is commended as “an ardent spokesman for the stern but loving guide to youth, be they gifted children, teenage students with dreams, or dedicated young professionals, whom he has served as dancer, teacher, director. The school is a testimony to his merit.”
