SEATTLE: Classes Tomorrow Morning Saturday April 12th; Limited Waiting Space for Parents

Hello PNB Tots, Creative Movement and Pre Ballet families,

As we shared last week, PNB is currently hosting an event through tomorrow, Saturday April 12th called Teachers’ Seminar here at the Phelps Center. This is a friendly reminder that we please ask that parents do not wait in the lobby area tomorrow morning as we will have 40 extra teachers here navigating the space. The board room will be utilized by this event so unfortunately that space will not be available to wait in as well. We ask that if you are able, please drop your student off and or wait outside so that we can keep the lobby space clear for the extra foot traffic that will be occupying the building.

We would also like to address recent volume levels with in the school office on Saturday mornings. We love the energy and excitement that Saturday mornings bring to PNB with our students and families! We’d like to kindly remind everyone through that the school office is a working space, and recently, the noise levels on Saturday mornings have been exceedingly high. This has made it challenging for our staff to assist families and conduct business effectively.

We respectfully ask that conversations and activity near and in the school office be kept at a low volume to help maintain a productive and professional environment.

Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your understanding and cooperation!

Teacher Seminar! This coming week April 9th-12th at Phelps Center

Hello SEATTLE PNB School Families,

We wanted to take a moment to give you a heads up that PNB will be hosting an exciting event called Teachers’ Seminar this coming week at the Phelps Center: Wednesday, April 9th – Saturday, April 12th. 

The Teachers’ Seminar brings together dance educators from across the country for a four-day total immersion experience into the dance training, philosophies, syllabus, and dancer wellness program that makes Pacific Northwest Ballet School one of the nation’s finest professional ballet training institutions. We are expecting approximately 40 dance teachers from across the country to attend this event.

Participants will gain an inside view of PNB School programs from Level I through Professional Division through lecture demonstrations, ballet classes, and panel discussions.  Attendees will also enjoy a PNB performance and are welcome to observe PNB School classes during the four-day event.

With more foot traffic expected at the Phelps Center, we kindly ask all parents and visitors to be mindful of the space during drop-offs, pick-ups, and while waiting in the lobby and school office areas. Please help us ensure the studio remains welcoming for everyone by keeping walkways clear and following any signage or guidance from staff. We also ask that all students make sure they are in proper dress code as usual and remember the importance of maintaining a respectful and focused atmosphere here at PNB.

Thank you for understanding!

If you have any questions, please email or call the school office.
