ABOUT THE SCHOOL
The School at Jacob’s Pillow is one of the most prestigious and sought-after professional advancement training centers in the world.
Turning Dancers into Artists
Led by acclaimed artistic directors and choreographers, The School at Jacob’s Pillow transforms dancers into artists. Alumni appear in Dance Magazine’s “25 To Watch,” on Broadway, at The Tonys, in film, and in major companies worldwide. During Festival 2017, we welcomed 33 alumni back to the Pillow as company artistic directors, choreographers, performers, and faculty.
An Extraordinary Place To Learn
“Thanks to the rigor and inspiration at Jacob’s Pillow I have summoned the courage to move to New York City… It feels like a family of dancers was waiting there for me.”
Lucille DiCampli Artist Representation
“I’m not only making so many connections with major choreographers and dancers from all over the world, but am leaving the Pillow with a different outlook on being an artist and twenty-three friends that will last a lifetime.”
Contemporary Program
“I am forever grateful for Jacob’s Pillow’s enriching and supportive environment which has allowed me to discover and explore the artist that I want to become.”
