Message from the Artistic Director

Dear New Haven Ballet Friends and Families,

Winter has finally arrived and we are excited to return to classes.

I wish to extend a heartfelt thanks to all who helped make this year's Nutcracker our most successful to date -- with over 6,000 people in attendance! 

Now we are winding down the fall term and readying to begin the spring session. From dance injury workshops to spectacular guest teachers to Company auditions, there are many exciting things happening this month. 

We hope you enjoyed a wonderful holiday and look forward to seeing you in 2016.

My very best wishes,

Lisa Sanborn
Artistic Director
