  • Students must submit the registration fee and the completed (and signed) Registration Form, to be considered enrolled in the program.
  • If classes are full when registration is received, students will be placed on a waiting list, and will be notified after April 15th if space is available.
  • Partial attendance is considered on a case-by-case basis.

TUITION REFUND POLICY: The $75 Registration fee is absolutely non-refundable. No refunds will be given for any reason other than severe injury (injury preventing student from attending; the School must receive medical documentation of injury when considering a refund).

Duet Classes Are Back!!

Hello PNB School Families,

We are excited to announce that we are bringing back our Duet class! Toddlers ages 2 to 3 and their parent or caretaker dance together while focusing on rhythm, movement, music and fun!

Duet class will be offered for Quarter 4 running from April 7-June 14, 2025. Classes meet once a week for 45 minutes.

Bellevue- Mondays 3:00-3:45pm

Seattle- Fridays 3:00-3:45pm

Each registered Duet student must have an adult partner. Only 1 student per adult partner.

Duet classes introduce the concepts of spatial awareness and cooperation within a ballet classroom. Students learn simple dance moves while developing their focus and coordination. Building body awareness and confidence is encouraged with group exercises.

Simple musical instruments along with fun and educational props are used to introduce rhythmical timing, taking turns, moving in different directions and physical skills like jumping and galloping. Duet classes incorporate both individual and partner work within the class structure.
