It’s almost time for one of our most cherished traditions — The Nutcracker! We are thrilled to announce that auditions will be held on Saturday, September 20, and Sunday, September 21, 2025.
Every dancer enrolled in Creative Ballet I through Level 8 is eligible to audition, and every dancer who auditions will be cast in the production.
This is a unique opportunity for our students to:
-
Perform on the Shubert Theatre stage in a beloved holiday classic

Grow as artists under the guidance of our professional faculty
-
Share in the excitement of a production that delights audiences year after year
We can’t wait to begin this season’s magical journey together!

Where Little Feet Take Big Steps
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.
