The Joffrey Ballet's programming includes the Bridge Program,
Middle School Dance Clubs, Exelon Strobel Step - Up Program, and work with Advanced Arts @ Gallery 37 and After School Matters.
Students have opportunities to be involved in Student Government, the HOPE Squad, National Junior Honor Society,
Middle School dances and activities, peer tutoring, and a variety of student - organized
clubs such as chess, sign - language, comedy improv, and others.
The high
schoolers felt that being taught as a «teacher» rather than as traditional student of
dance, as they were used to, helped them to think about implementation and time management more mindfully when working with both the
middle schoolers and their own
club.
