New Haven Ballet returns for its summer residency at Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, Connecticut, offering a pre-professional ballet intensive for ballet students ages 11+. Twenty-six students from New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut were selected through a competitive process to study with New Haven Ballet’s premiere faculty and perform.

“We are excited to provide an elite classical dance summer sleep-away camp in Connecticut at Choate’s state-of-the-art dance facilities and perform in their beautiful theater. This is an opportunity for talented classical ballet students to receive exceptional personalized training close to New Haven,” explains Artistic Director Lisa Kim Sanborn. Students reside in Choate dormitories and participate in a rigorous daily training program.

“This year, we are thrilled to welcome New York City Ballet’s Savannah Durham to our summer faculty,” notes Sanborn.

On Friday, August 9, 2024, at 3:00 p.m., the students will present a free public performance at the Paul Mellon Arts Center. The performance will feature excerpts from Sanborn’s Le Corsaire, which premiered at the Shubert Theatre New Haven in 2016.

Located at 332 Christian Street in Wallingford, the Paul Mellon Arts Center is a beautiful state-of-the-art theater designed by award-winning architect I.M. Pei, who is perhaps best known for the East Wing of the National Gallery, for which the Arts Center at Choate served as a prototype, and for the pyramid-shaped entry to the Louvre Museum in Paris.

Admission to the performance is free.

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.
