Hello Eastside Families,
We have noticed that there is a bottle-neck issue in our parking lot when we have a long line of cars waiting in the pickup/drop-off line, which prevents other cars from safely passing. We ask that you please wait in a parking spot for your student if you arrive more than 5 minutes prior to the end of your students’ class. As you are in the pickup/drop-off line please pull up as the cars in front of you leave in order to keep the line moving.
Thank you for your help! Our students’ safety is our top priority.
Best regards,
Mairi Nicol
School Supervisor

We invite students and families in Levels IV-VI to join us for a special seminar about summer dance opportunities, presented by PNB School Level VIII students! Summer provides a wonderful chance for students to continue to train while exploring other dance programs. Twenty-six schools across the country are scheduled to hold auditions at PNB this winter. Students/families attending this seminar will participate in a Q&A session with Level VIII students and gain perspective on what to expect and how to prepare for an audition; how the various programs compare in size, cost, class offerings; and tips for making the most of your summer dance experience. Students will share their experiences from the many summer courses they have attended. We will also be joined by PNB Parent/Guardian Association President, Paige Davis, who will offer the parent perspective in sending your student away for the summer.
While we encourage Level IV and V students to participate in the Francia Russell Center Summer Couse, we also encourage students to audition for at least one summer program, to gain experience in the audition process.
