Save the date! We’re excited to announce that Pointe Live Classes & Conversations is returning to Chicago this summer on Saturday, July 25, 2026.  

Our Chicago event will take place at Joffrey Ballet of Chicago’s studios. Dancers will enjoy a series of master classes with Milwaukee Ballet leading artist Jennifer Hackbarth and another teaching artist to be announced. (Classes will be divided by age and level.) Afterwards, we’ll host a 45-minute panel discussion and Q&A with our guests, moderated by Pointe editor in chief Amy Brandt.
