New York, NY – August 15, 2025 — The Joffrey Ballet School (JBS) in New York City is proud to announce the continuation of its partnership with Tap Into The Network (TITN), the premier touring All Tap Intensive, for the 2025 season. As part of this collaboration, TITN will host a ����Ӱ�� Summer Tap Audition at every regional stop on its 2025 tour.

These auditions provide dancers ages 12–25 the opportunity to be considered for acceptance and merit-based scholarships to the 2026 Joffrey Ballet School NYC Summer Tap Intensive. Every registered Advanced TITN attendee will automatically be eligible to participate in the JBS Audition Tap Class, included as part of their intensive experience.

Dancers who are not attending the TITN intensive may also audition, with advance registration through JBS or in-person sign-up on the day of the event (space permitting). Priority will be given to registered TITN attendees, as audition capacity is limited and often sells out.

“Our partnership with Tap Into The Network was such a success last year, introducing us to an incredible range of tap artists from across the country,” said Brigid Silva-Lohoff, Joffrey Ballet School Audition Tour Director. “We’re so excited to continue our partnership with Tap Into The Network. This collaboration brings the JBS Tap Intensive experience directly to talented dancers across the country, making auditions more accessible while celebrating the artistry, precision, and passion of tap dance. We can’t wait to meet the incredible artists who will join us in New York next summer.”
