Dance for Joy Youth Ballet Company Recital 2008
 
Our youth ballet is open by audition to all students in our Intermediate 2 to Advanced Levels (11 year olds and up).  Performances are held in our studio space, at area elementary schools, Tom Thumb PreSchool, nursing homes, and other venues.  We were selected to perform in August, 2004 with the Rockland String Ensemble at Rockland Community College and travel each year to the Youth Dance Festival of New Jersey.

Katrina Vazquez and Lisa Cioffi played Clara in the 2004 production of the Nutcracker with Albany Berkshire Ballet.
 
Auditions are held at Dance for Joy in the fall for the Albany Berkshire Ballet production of the Nutcracker.  Students are selected for childrens' roles, and older students may be chosen for company level parts.  All rehearsals are at Dance for Joy, and performances are held at Putnam Valley High School.  Albany Berkshire Ballet is a professional company which tours the northeast with its Nutcracker. 

Workshops
We also hold summer intensive workshops, and one-day workshops in additional types of dance such as character and modern.
