PROGRAMS & TUITION – Children’s Division

Children’s Division

At New Haven Ballet, we believe a child’s first ballet experience should be joyful, inspiring, and nurturing. Our youngest dancers are welcomed into bright, spacious studios where they can explore movement, music, and creativity under the guidance of some of the region’s finest instructors.

Our gentle approach syllabus is specially designed for children, using age- and grade-appropriate exercises that introduce the basics of ballet while encouraging imagination, coordination, and musicality. As children grow, they gain the skills, focus, and confidence to transition into our more advanced Student Division.

Students in Creative Ballet and above are invited to audition and perform in The Nutcracker and Spring Performance at the Shubert Theatre — a magical experience for dancers and families alike.
