On the road

The Joffrey has always been a touring company, dating back to 1956 and the original six dancers who initiated the “station wagon” tour of one-night stands with a repertoire of original ballets by artistic director Robert Joffrey.

Together Robert Joffrey and Gerald Arpino created a uniquely American company of dancers for whom they choreographed original and relevant ballets, commissioned works from the finest emerging choreographers (giving many their first nation exposure), and meticulously reconstructed some of the early masterworks of the 20th century.

The Joffrey has performed in over 400 US cities and in all 50 states. International tours include Afghanistan, Australia, Austria, Canada, China, Denmark, Egypt, England, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Iran, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Korea, Mexico, Portugal, Russia, Scotland, Singapore, Spain, Syria, Taiwan and Turkey.
