Is housing available for the intensives in Boulder?

Housing is available for students 12 years and older. Students must be 12 or older during the intensive. Students turning 12 after July 7 will not be eligible to stay at the dorm.

The Residence Hall is located on the University of Colorado campus. Our live-in Housing staff are available to students and parents 24 hours a day and assist by providing support and guidance at the dorm and studio. Students are escorted to and from the studio.

When does my dancer check in/out?

CHECK IN

Housing check-ins are on Sundays from 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm. Students are only allowed to check in during the scheduled time. Early check-in will not be permitted.

Week 1: Sunday July 6, 2025

Week 2: Sunday July 13, 2025

Week 3: Sunday July 20, 2025

Upon arrival, please check-in at the front desk in the lobby. Only students should enter the lobby to check in with the RA on duty. Joffrey staff will direct students to Conference Services where the student will sign for a building access card, which also serves as a room key.

CHECK OUT

Students must check out of the dorm before they leave for classes on the Friday of their last week. The dorm will provide storage for students who would like to pick up their belongings after classes. All belongings must be picked up on Friday. Housing students are required to schedule a check out time and will be required to move out during that time. Dancers staying at the residence hall for multiple weeks do not have to check out during the weekends.

Are students escorted to the studios?

Joffrey Housing staff will provide an escort to/from the dorm on a sign-up basis. Students under 14 will be accompanied by a Joffrey staff member at all times. This includes daily trips to/from the assigned studio. The students will have scheduled meeting times each morning to meet to travel together to the studios. They will also have a scheduled travel group to return to the housing locations for evening check in.

Can I have a roommate?

All students will be assigned to double bedrooms. Students may request roommates under the following conditions: Roommates must reside in housing for the same period of time and must attend the same intensive and be assigned to the same group.

Please note that although we will make every effort to accommodate requests, it might not always be possible. Roommate Requests are $100 per dancer. If we are unable to honor a request, the resident will receive a credit towards their tuition.

Are there any extra activities?

Joffrey Ballet School will host extra activities for housing students. These activities will take place in the evenings and during the weekends. Information for activities will be posted on the student Band groups. All in person extra activities will be reliant on city/state closures and guidelines.

All JBS events are escorted and chaperoned by staff members. Students must practice social distancing at all times. Students (17 and younger) attending activities will automatically have a curfew extension. Legal Guardians do not need to submit a request for a curfew extension. All Housing Students (20 and younger) must check in for curfew after returning from the activity.  

Most of the activities will be free to housing students. JBS will notify students if any ticketed activities become available. Students should budget for activities if they want to purchase food, treats, clothes or souvenirs.

Who will be supervising my dancer at the dorm?

The Residence Life Department team consists of a Director of Residence Life and a group of live-in Resident Advisors (RAs) who rotate duty shifts. The RA on duty can be reached 24/7. The team facilitates daily operations and handles crises or emergencies should they arise. RAs are also available to take students (17 and younger) to the doctor, conduct rounds to ensure health and safety. Our team meets with students to conduct mediations, conflict resolution meetings, friendship introductions and any other situation that students need assistance with.

All of our summer interns take part in a robust selection process that includes a formal application, one-on-one interviews, group evaluations and background checks. Most of our interns are currently attending university or have graduated. All candidates must have a dance background or share an appreciation for performing arts.
