About DanceAIR
DanceAIR is a community program offered by New Haven Ballet, which offers dance to underrepresented children and children with financial need in New Haven. Through DanceAIR, students receive high-quality arts education, expand their understanding and appreciation of dance and the performing arts, learn basic dance technique and choreography, and have an opportunity to express themselves artistically by combining musicality and rhythm. They experience the discipline and physicality of dance, which emphasizes focus, athleticism, coordination, artistry, strength, balance, flexibility, and the rewards of hard work.
DanceAIR targets students interested in dance who may not be able to learn about and experience the art form without support. Since 2013, DanceAIR has reached young students at many public elementary schools in New Haven. New Haven Public Schools that have offered DanceAIR training include: Fair Haven School, Columbus Family Academy, John S. Martinez School, Lincoln Bassett School, Quinnipiac School, Truman School, and East Rock School.
