Summer Study With A Twist

Lazar Ballet NYC’s on-site program brings summer intensives to schools 

Artistic Director Elie Lazar, who founded Lazar Ballet NYC in 2005, develops on-site intensive dance programs that are presented as summer workshops or as part of weeklong residency seminars at schools in the United States. The program includes public performances, lecture-demonstrations, and master classes. Previously Lazar founded and directed the Joffrey Ensemble Dancers, a performance group associated with the Joffrey Ballet School in New York City. He is also the founder and director of the Joffrey Ballet School Summer Intensive in Milledgeville, GA.

The Lazar Ballet NYC summer intensive is a one- or two-week residential program that includes daily classes in ballet, pointe, men’s classes, variations, and pas de deux, taught by Lazar and his company dancers. It also introduces students to the classical ballet repertoire and to contemporary works from Lazar Ballet’s repertoire. The company offers a full-length performance as part of the residency, and the students, partnered by the company men, dance in a pre-performance show. Advanced-level dancers may take company classes and observe daily rehearsals.
