| New Haven Ballet Company provides intermediate and advanced level students with enhanced training through exposure to celebrated guest choreographers, musicians, works and teachers, and offers additional performing opportunities. This year’s New Haven Ballet Company audition is September 26-27. New Haven Ballet is thrilled to share this video performance of Corelli Adagio, which allowed New Haven Ballet Company members an opportunity to collaborate with the incredible Videri String Quartet. |

New Haven Ballet’s Studio Protocols describe requirements, which you must adhere to in order to participate in studio classes. These requirements include staying home if you or someone to whom you have had close contact is sick, wearing masks, social distancing, and adhering to travel restrictions.
Domestic Travel —
The Connecticut Travel Advisory places restrictions on visitors from dozens of states, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The most recent Executive Order from the Governor has led to a major change for many in our community:
If you are coming from one of the restricted states or locations, you will have to quarantine for 14 days upon arriving in Connecticut.
Under State regulations, a negative test taken prior to coming to Connecticut is no longer a substitute for quarantining.
You must also fill out the Connecticut Travel Health Form. Please visit CT.gov for a list of restricted states, and keep in mind that this list is subject to change due to health conditions across the country.
International students should follow the guidance outlined on the CDC website, but in most cases will also quarantine for 14 days upon arriving in Connecticut.
Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in keeping our studios safe. We are excited to see you on August 31!
Arts for Anti Racism Pledge
In order to become more anti-racist, New Haven Ballet pledges to make these changes:
| ✓ | CULTURE: To change our internal culture to one that actively amplifies BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) voices, encourages open and productive discourse on race and racism, and is aware of and addresses racism when it happens. | |
| ✓ | POLICY & PRACTICE: To review our policies to identify and dismantle any unjust policies and practices that create barriers for BIPOC; this involves recruiting, promoting, and empowering BIPOC for leadership roles in the body responsible for organizational oversight (i.e. board of directors), and committing to a JEDI statement (Justice, Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion) around which to build policy and programming. |
| ✓ | ART: To acknowledge the barriers that have led to BIPOC artists being vastly underrepresented in the arts; and to actively counter this by employing and presenting work(s) by more BIPOC artists. | |
| ✓ | SOCIAL JUSTICE: To acknowledge that there are diverse communities which have been untapped by our organization; and to actively counter this by seeking out and providing a space for art focused on cultural pride, racial justice, civil rights, and other issues which are important and relevant to BIPOC communities. |
| ✓ | ACCESSIBILITY: To offer programming that is more accessible to BIPOC, which may include adjusting ticket and/or admission price, format, schedule, and/or venue, in addition to content. | |
| ✓ | PARTICIPATE: To change our mentality from doing for the community to partnering with the community; this involves offering more “participatory” programming that directly involves diverse community members and allows them an interactive role in artistic and cultural activities. |
| ✓ | HISTORY: To research and be aware of the historical and social context of the programming and the impact it may have on BIPOC communities; and to let this research and awareness inform programmatic decision-making. |
New Haven Ballet encourages our community members to join us. For information on ways we are working to meet this pledge Click Here.
