Donate to Joffrey Concert Group in New York City

The Joffrey Concert Group is dedicated to bridging the gap between training and professional performance, providing emerging artists with the opportunity to grow, create, and inspire. Your support helps us nurture the next generation of dancers through meaningful performance experiences, new choreographic works, and access to the resources they need to thrive.

This Giving Tuesday, your gift makes a lasting impact—funding scholarships, wellness support, and the creation of innovative dance works that keep the art form alive. Together, we can ensure that the movement continues, on stage and beyond.

The Joffrey Concert Group was founded in the early 1970s and incorporated as a not-for-profit in 1981, and is currently led by Artistic Director Bradley Shelver. As the resident dance company of the Joffrey Ballet School, this pre-professional performing ensemble provides young artists from the School's year-round Trainee Program the opportunity to experience life as a professional dancer

In the years since its inception, Concert Group dancers have toured domestically and internationally, performing some of the most celebrated classical and contemporary repertoire. This includes the works of Gerald Arpino (Birthday Variations, Light Rain), Robert Battle (Battlefield), George Balanchine (Serenade), August Bournonville (La Ventana), Dwight Rhoden (New Work), Africa Guzman (The Stolen Path), Bradley Shelver, Eric Trope, Lindsay Grimes, Vernard J. Gilmore, Eryn Renee Young, Thang Da, Tsai Hsi Hung, Omar Ramon de Jesus, and Ken Ossola. 

Concert Group dancers have gone on to perform in premiere companies including Miami City Ballet, Boston Ballet, Complexions Contemporary Ballet, the Forsythe Company, the Martha Graham Dance Company, Dance Theatre of Harlem, and the Joffrey Ballet.
