We are so excited to invite you to our upcoming DanceAIR Performance this Friday, a celebration of creativity and the incredible work of our dancers.

What is DanceAIR?

DanceAIR brings weekly dance workshops into New Haven Public Schools and the Q House, where students learn technique, explore movement, and create original work together under the guidance of Children’s Division Director, Timothy Fountain.

For many, it’s their first experience with dance, a chance to build confidence and discover their creativity. We’re always inspired by what they create.

Through the program, New Haven Ballet also offers scholarships to promising students who wish to continue their training, opening the door to further opportunities in dance.

AGES 3 TO 7 | CHILDREN’S DIVISION

At New Haven Ballet, we begin training with our gentle approach syllabus, designed to introduce our youngest dancers to the joys of music and movement. Classes are filled with laughter and held in spacious, sunny studios, guided by the region’s finest instructors.

Each Children’s Division class follows a carefully crafted syllabus that uses age-appropriate exercises and stretches to gently introduce students to classical dance and musical fundamentals. Over time, dancers build the skills and discipline needed to transition confidently into the graded curriculum.

Don’t miss New Haven Ballet’s spring performances at the Shubert Theatre, 247 College Street, New Haven, on Saturday, May 24, at 1:00 and 5:00 p.m. Tickets start at $26 (plus a $4 Shubert restoration fee). The show’s running time is approximately 2 hours, including intermission. To purchase tickets, Click Here.

The performances will include:

Adventures in Wonderland featuring music by various composers and choreography by Artistic Director Lisa Kim Sanborn. We invite you to immerse yourself in this fully restaged, beloved children’s tale, showcasing all your favorite characters, including Alice, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, and the Queen of Hearts. Students from New Haven Ballet School perform this fantastic children’s ballet, which boasts professional, larger-than-life sets and stunning costumes. It reminds us that returning home is often the best part of experiencing exciting adventures. The performance premiered at the Shubert Theatre in New Haven on May 17, 2017.

La Bayadère, Kingdom of Shades, is a classical ballet that premiered in 1877 and remains a staple of the global classical ballet repertoire. Ludwig Minkus composed the music for the ballet, and the New Haven Ballet Company, a student company, will perform choreography inspired by Marius Petipa’s original work. This ballet features guest artist William Gutierrez as “Solor.”

Caprice Nos. 4 and 5 feature music composed by Polina Nazaykinskaya and are brilliantly performed by Nathaniel Strothkamp. This neo-classical ballet, choreographed by Artistic Director Lisa Kim Sanborn and presented by the New Haven Ballet Company, premiered at the Whitney Arts Center in New Haven in the spring of 2021.

Shared Ability, led by Kerry Kincy, will present a dance created by young artists with disabilities.
