Thank your customer, tell them how valuable they are to you, but don't go overboard. Insincerity is easy to spot.
Dear New Haven Ballet Friends and Families,
Fall will soon be upon us. To our new students,
Welcome. To our returning students,
Welcome back. An exciting year is ahead of us all!
I invite you to share the magic of NHB by inviting someone you know to a free trial class in September! This offer is open to any new student through the month of September.
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 15 and 16, with a student matinee held on December 14.
Auditions will be held on September 22-23. 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. We look forward to seeing you in class.
Yours sincerely,
Lisa Sanborn
Artistic Director
New Haven Ballet

Free Trial Classes for New Students
We love welcoming new students to the school. Due to popular demand NHB is once again extending its offer to allow
new students a FREE trial class at our Branford or New Haven Studios during the month of September. This gives new students an opportunity to experience for themselves the reasons New Haven Ballet is extra special and remains the top ballet school in the region.
Class space is limited. New students are eligible to perform in
The Nutcracker.

Pointe Shoe Workshop
Our annual pointe shoe workshop welcomes Level 4 students to the ranks of pointe work by joining with intermediate and advanced pointe students, who teach the secrets of sewing and preparing new pointe shoes. We will meet Saturday, September 8, from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. at NHB's Branford Studios: 9 Business Park Drive, Branford, CT.
Mrs. Sanborn is offering to fit each Level 4 student with new shoes on August 28 at Dancer's World in Hamden. To schedule a fitting time please call 203-782-9038.
This is a wonderful opportunity for our newest pointe students to get to know advanced dancers, share valuable information and personal stories! Level 4-8 students are invited and encouraged to attend. For more information call Tel. 203-782-9038 or email: administrator@newhavenballet.org.
