From the reviews
My daughter took part in The New England Ballet Theatres “The Carnival of the Animals” Ballet this past weekend. She’s six years old and this was one of her very first experiences performing in a ballet. It was amazing seeing dancers from across the state come together and put on an absolutely beautiful performance.
Outstanding...Knowledgeable...Professional...Talented...Kind...Just a few words to describe the staff at NEBT. My 8-year old daughter was a penguin in their spring show this past weekend "The Carnival of the Animals" and had an experience that will last a life-time.
My daughter and son were a dancers in the Carnival of the Animals, and they had a wonderful time. I enjoyed watching the show and I thought everyone did a wonderful job. I could tell my children were enjoying themselves, and they were glad to be performing(safety) once again.

Adult ballet at New England Ballet Theatre of CT
New England Ballet Theatre of CT runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at New England Ballet Theatre of CT
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.
