Founded in 1969 by Sharon E. Dante, The Nutmeg Ballet started its journey as a small, one-room studio. Since then, we have enjoyed five decades of growth; guided by a dedication to the highest quality in dance education, we have developed into an internationally renowned facility, widely respected for its pre-professional classical dance training and performance programs. We’re grateful for the enduring support of our local community, along with the many donors, parents and students who have made our mission a possibility over the last 50 years. Now, under the guidance of Artistic Director, Victoria Mazzarelli, we are entering our second half century, striving to uplift and empower the next generation of dance artists and to provide equitable access to a world class ballet instruction.


The Nutmeg’s Year Round Programs, fully accredited by the National Association of Schools of Dance, are designed to meet the needs of dedicated young artists wanting to advance their training in a challenging, yet supportive environment. Offering quality training and rich performance opportunities, these programs prepare select middle school, high school and post-high school students for entry into the professional world of dance.

Like our Year Round Programs, The Nutmeg’s summer intensives offer a vigorous training experience complete with performance opportunities. Offering individual attention to each student’s needs and strengths, these summer programs are designed to build both training skills and memories that will last beyond a student’s experience at The Nutmeg.

The Nutmeg maintains a full season of performance opportunities for our students, both in our year round and summer programs. Performance venues include major theatrical stages, our own state-of-the-art performance space within The Nutmeg complex, and varied spaces in the community. This vital onstage experience is an integral part of nurturing skills which prove invaluable to a student’s future career possibilities.
