Dear New Haven Ballet Friends and Families,
The fall is upon us, and it's time to get out your leotards and tights, sew elastics on your ballet shoes, and get ready to dance. To our new students,
Welcome. To our returning students,
Welcome back. An exciting year is ahead of us all!
You'll see some new faces this fall, as many new students have enrolled in classes. We have also lined up master classes with dancers and teachers from world-class companies.
I invite you to NHB's
Open House at our Branford Studios on Saturday, September 10, from 9-3 p.m. Please join me in a tour of the studios, meet our professional faculty and Children's Division Director, Christopher DeNofrio, and take a class.
If it's fall, it must be
Nutcracker time. This year, we'll once again be performing our traditional holiday classic at the Shubert Theater on December 16 and 17.
Auditions will be held on September 23-24. Whether you are cast as a Mouse or Snowflake, a Party Child or in the Spanish Hot Chocolate Corps, dancing in
The Nutcracker is an experience you will treasure for a lifetime.
So start stretching and get ready to jump into a fall of fun and new challenges with New Haven Ballet.
Registration is open and we look forward to seeing you in class.
Yours sincerely,
Lisa Sanborn
Artistic Director
New Haven Ballet
