Summer Plans Survey

Hello PNB Students!

Do you have plans to dance this summer? Please let us know!

PNB School faculty and staff are delighted to present our 42nd annual School Performance on stage at McCaw Hall on June 17th. As the end of the 2022-23 school year draws near, we are beginning work on our printed School Performance program, a lovely photo-filled keepsake of school year highlights and student achievements.

We take great pride in hearing about the prestigious summer dance programs our students are accepted to and attend each year; and we are currently gathering information for all PNB School students in Levels IV-VIII, Pre-Intermediate C, Intermediate C and Advanced C classes via the following 2023 Summer Plans Survey. If you plan to attend a summer dance program this year, we would like to include that information in our School Performance program.

The survey should not take more than 5 minutes to complete. Please respond by April 21, 2023.

We appreciate your participation and thank you for your time!

Action Required: Leotard Sizes for School Performance

Hello PNB Families,

The faculty have been attempting to track down the leotard sizes of all of our Level I – VIII students over the past few weeks so that we can begin the fitting process for School Performances costumes. We would appreciate your help with this as many leotards are missing tags this year. Please submit your students leotard size by clicking here.

We appreciate your help and are looking forward to seeing your students on stage!
