The JOKSOD Transition Program (JTP) is an audition only program for students that are looking for a pathway to transition to full-time dance. It has been developed for highly motivated, dedicated and skilled dancers looking for a career in Classical Ballet.
It complements our JOKSOD Extension Program (JEP) and supports the defining and strengthening of technique and artistry for dancers whilst providing skills, knowledge and an understanding of the full time dance world.
Whether your dancer is beginning to explore what more intensive training could look like or is actively considering a future in dance, JTP provides a progressive pathway to develop technique, artistry, strength, resilience and confidence, while continuing their academic education.
JTP is open to dancers from any dance school.
There is no one pathway into dance.
Our role is to help dancers build the skills, knowledge and confidence to discover where their own pathway might lead.
So if you are interested in a career in full-time dance and want to explore an excellent transition program that will set you on the right path, then get in touch to organise an audition at enrolment@joanneokellyschoolofdance.com.au
TWO STAGES. ONE PATHWAY.
JTP has been designed to support dancers at different stages of their development.
JTP INTERMEDIATE Ages 9-11
Building strong foundations
JTP Intermediate is our introduction to enhanced dance training for younger dancers.
Running as a half-day intensive several times each term, the program provides dancers aged 9-11 with an opportunity to experience additional training in a supportive and age-appropriate environment.
The focus is on building strong technical foundations, developing positive training habits and introducing dancers to the physical and mental skills that will support their progression.
JTP Intermediate isn't about rushing young dancers into full-time training.
It's about building the foundations that will give them choices later.
JTP SENIOR Ages 12+
Preparing for the next stage
JTP Senior is our more intensive pathway for dancers aged 12+ who are ready to significantly develop their training and may be considering full-time dance or a future within the performing arts.
The program provides a bridge between regular part-time training and the expectations of advanced or full-time dance training.
JTP Senior currently operates as a full-day Monday intensive approximately 5-6 times per term, with the potential for additional training opportunities as the program develops.
