2024 Fall Special
AGES 3-8: ONE MONTH OF BALLET FOR $75
3-8-year-olds may participate in a month of introduction to ballet at New Haven Ballet from August 26-September 28, 2024, for $75.
With a legacy of over thirty-five years, the New Haven Ballet sets the standard for classical dance training throughout Greater New Haven. New Haven Ballet provides the best training for young dancers, employing a gentle curriculum that results in dancers known for their excellent technique, clean lines, and beautiful artistry.
This is a fantastic opportunity as there is nothing like the joy experienced while moving to music; having a strong classical technique is essential for all dancers. Moreover, children who engage in the arts tend to perform better in math, reading, and writing. Ballet also helps children develop motor, social-emotional, cognitive, and multisensory skills. Children who continue arts education in elementary school and beyond may demonstrate increased brain development and self-esteem.
