New Haven Ballet

3-9-year-olds may participate in a month of introduction to ballet at New Haven Ballet from January 13 through February 8 for $75.​​
With a nearly forty-year legacy, New Haven Ballet sets the standard for classical dance training throughout Greater New Haven. The 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.
​​For those in 3K Pre-Kindergarten, New Haven Ballet’s 1st Steps class allows young dancers to celebrate their creativity as a fundamental movement to music and support of basic motor skills are introduced. The 1st Steps class meets on Mondays from 11:15 to 12:00 p.m. in Bethany or Saturdays from 9:00 to 9:45 a.m. in New Haven. We recommend that young dancers attend one class weekly.
​​For those in 4K Pre-Kindergarten, New Haven Ballet’s Creative Ballet I class promotes the growth of young dancers’ natural creativity. It focuses on motor skill development and musical awareness. Depending on the dancer’s development and interests, we recommend the class once or twice weekly. Creative Ballet I: Monday at 3:00-3:45 p.m. in Bethany Tuesday at 4:45-5:30 p.m. in Branford Wednesday at 4:00-4:45 p.m. in New Haven Saturday at 9:45-10:30 a.m. in New Haven
​​For Kindergarteners, New Haven Ballet’s Creative Ballet II class continues to promote the expansion of natural creativity, with an increased focus on motor skill development and musical awareness. We recommend dancers participate in one or two classes weekly. Creative Ballet II: Monday at 3:00-3:45 p.m. in Bethany Tuesday at 4:45-5:30 p.m. in Branford Wednesday at 4:00-4:45 p.m. in New Haven
Thursday at 4:30-5:15 p.m. in Hamden Saturday at 10:30-11:15 a.m. in New Haven
​​​​​​For students in 1st Grade, New Haven Ballet’s Pre-Ballet class introduces more formal classical ballet training using age-appropriate vocabulary and movement.​ If interested and ready, we recommend that dancers participate in ballet class up to twice weekly. Pre-Ballet: Monday at 3:45-4:45 p.m. in Bethany Tuesday at 5:30-6:15 p.m. in Branford Wednesday at 4:45-5:30 p.m. in New Haven

Thursday at 5:15-6:00 p.m. in Hamden Saturday at 11:15-12:00 p.m. in New Haven
New Haven Ballet’s Primary class introduces 2nd-graders to more formal classical ballet training. It prepares them for the Student Division and our graded curriculum.​ A twice-weekly class schedule is recommended to maximize progress and readiness for the Student Division. Primary: Monday at 3:45-4:45 p.m. in Bethany Tuesday at 5:30-6:15 p.m. in Branford Wednesday at 5:30-6:30 p.m. in New Haven
Thursday at 5:15-6:00 p.m. in Hamden Saturday at 12:00-1:00 p.m. in New Haven
​​​​The start of the new year is a great time to make new friends and try something artistic, but space is limited.
