New Haven Ballet held its annual DanceAIR performance on Friday, May 10, at the ECA ACES Arts Hall in New Haven. Seven deserving students from Fair Haven School, Truman School, Barack H. Obama Magnet University School, Edgewood Creative Thinking Through STEM School, Lincoln-Bassett School, and the Dixwell Community House received full scholarships to train at New Haven Ballet, including tuition for 12 months, all performance fees, costume fees, and free dance attire. Other students were awarded free summer tuition to study at New Haven Ballet.

DanceAIR is a community program that partners the Ballet with New Haven Public Schools and community centers in traditionally underserved neighborhoods to provide free classical ballet training, scholarships, and performance opportunities.

Scholarships: New Haven Ballet offers partial and full scholarships to families who need financial assistance

Community Programs: We will continue to offer Shared Ability, DanceAIR and Open Division, all of which provide amazing dance training to myriad members of the Greater New Haven region

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.
