BALLET STORY BOOK CAMP

New Haven Ballet invites budding musicians, artists, and dancers aged 6 to 8 to join a ballet storybook summer camp. Campers will enjoy a variety of activities, including ballet, art, music, and fun, each morning. You don’t need any previous experience in dance, art, or music. Campers explore ballet stories through movement and crafts, learn musicality and rhythm, and fully engage with the day’s theme. Camp starts at 9:00 a.m. and concludes at noon. Please arrive in dance attire and ballet shoes. Bring a nut-free snack and water. Call 203.782-9038 or email: administrator@newhavenballet.org to schedule a placement class.

SUMMER (DAILY CLASSES)

Offered in three sessions, summer classes enable students aged 10 to 19 to continue their ballet training and enhance their technique. They support beginner to advanced pointe work and ballet technique. For more experienced students, repertory and conditioning sessions allow dancers to focus on developing their artistry, refining their technical skills, and building strength and flexibility. A placement class is required for new students.

During the summer, students in levels 1, 2, and 3 continue their formalized ballet training, perfecting their primary vocabulary and steps. Beginning and intermediate pointe work continues in Levels 4 and 5, and Intermediate and Advanced students incorporate more advanced technique, emphasizing the development of their artistry, technical detail, and movement.

OUR MISSION

To provide the greater New Haven Community with exceptional classical ballet training, performances, and outreach programs, that nurture appreciation of ballet and foster the joy of dance.

On October 31, 2020, NHB’s Board of Directors adopted the following Diversity and Inclusion Statement:

New Haven Ballet celebrates those who aspire to excellence in classical ballet. A culture of creativity is the core of our work and diversity promotes innovation. The arts can provide powerful life-changing experiences that prepare students and impact audiences to lead more successful, meaningful and culturally rich lives. The arts can also prove to be an important platform for social change. At New Haven Ballet we are passionate about creating an inclusive dance environment and performances that promote and value diversity and inclusion. We will continue to strive to increase diversity in age, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, ethnicity, and perspective, which will improve and strengthen our work.
