Joffrey Community Engagement
The mission of Joffrey Community Engagement is to provide equitable access, high-quality arts learning, and dance education to the youth of Chicago.
Dance has the power to educate and inspire. Joffrey Community Engagement was founded to support physical, social, and emotional development, and improve the educational, community, and wellness outcomes for young people.
Today, Joffrey Community Engagement is the leading dance education provider in the city of Chicago, with more than 93 programs in 58 schools throughout the Chicago Public School system, and dedicated to reaching students and communities near and far.
While continuing to put the health and safety of our community first, the Joffrey Community Engagement will be holding in-person classes following the policies set forth in our Joffrey Ballet and Community Engagement Covid-19 Guidelines.
