Joffrey Ballet School - NYC Ballet Summer Intensive (3+ weeks) serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options.

Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.
