★★★★★ — Weining, Sep 2021

My daughter loves the rigorous (but kid-friendly) program at CT Concert Ballet. Their performances are wonderful, and they move kids through in a skill progression and advance them when they are ready, no strictly by age. I have the utmost respect for the work they do.

★★★★★ — Ken, Nov 2019

My daughter has been at Connecticut Concert Ballet since she was 4. I have watched her independence grow over the years. She Loves performing and CCB allows her to do that with the Nutcracker in December, Gala in February and spring Show in May.

★★★★★ — Kellie, Sep 2021

My daughter has danced at CCB for the past ten years and I couldn't be happier with her experience. The CCB directors and instructors foster a positive, family environment and encourage and celebrate all dancers. I love that they teach my daughter how to dance, not a dance for a recital.

Your first ballet class at Connecticut Concert Ballet

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
