The award-winning New Haven Ballet (NHB) began in the fall of 1985, an outgrowth of the Connecticut Ballet, to provide dance instruction for serious students and recreational dancers alike. Twenty-six years later, NHB has firmly established itself in the Greater New Haven and shoreline arts communities, with studios in New Haven and Guilford, and highly trained faculty that support students aspiring to professional dance careers as well as those studying ballet for recreational purposes. In addition, the school has become a major arts organization, playing a vital role in the community through outreach and school programs, two student performance ensembles, and collaborations with artists within the community and beyond. In recent years, despite the sluggish economy, the school’s enrollment has remained steady and even increased.
In December 2010, Jared Redick, a former soloist with Boston Ballet and principal of Boston Ballet’s South Shore School, was named Artistic Director. Under Mr. Redick, NHB is poised to meet the challenges that come with success: maintaining a topnotch dance program that supports students at all levels, from beginner to pre-professional; and continuing to develop community ties within Greater New Haven and southern Connecticut; and, to facilitate these goals, moving into a dedicated facility that will enable the school to grow and expand.
The Ballet is served by an active Board of Directors. New Haven Ballet is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization and acknowledges the generosity of its devoted patrons and Corporations as well as Foundation support including Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism, New Alliance Foundation, the New Haven Office of Cultural Affairs, The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven and the National Endowment for the Arts.
The New Haven Ballet admits students of any age, race, color, creed or national origin to all rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded and made available to school students.
