Hi Advanced C families,
We sincerely apologize for the late notice. Due to weekend Momotaro rehearsals Advanced C classes are cancelled this evening Monday the 2nd.
Please reach out if you have any questions!
Hello Upper Division Families,
This month, on March 11th, we have a few slots available for office hour counseling with PNB’s consulting therapist, Josh Spell, available at no cost! As a part of PNBs ongoing commitment to helping develop healthy dancers, we are so excited for our students to have this opportunity to help address challenges in their lives, dance related or not.
For students at the FRC you may attend these office hours virtually if you are unable to come in person to the Phelps Center Library.
SIGN-UP:
These are first come first serve. If you are not able to attend the in-person sessions or all of the slots are taken, you are invited to contact Josh to set up a virtual 30 minute appointment. Josh will be providing virtual office hours each month to PNB students at no cost!
Office hours can be supportive in many ways. They can be used as maintenance, like in-house physical therapy, or they can be used when you are feeling overwhelmed and need to find some clarity and mental and emotional space.
Office hours may look like 1) receiving validation, 2) getting in touch with emotions, 3) tuning up for your mindset, 4) perspective taking, 5) strategizing for how to approach situations, experiences or upcoming performances, 6) managing stress and 7) building skills to use your voice.
The mind and body are not separate, so if you’re dealing with an injury, there could be a psychological component associated. Sometimes the body holds onto stress and anxiety, so talking through stressors can also complement physical therapy.
Please note: Josh will not be diagnosing or providing psychotherapy to treat long term disorders. Up to three one on one sessions are covered by PNB for each student, if more therapy is required, referrals for other clinicians can be provided by Josh.
Students may be excused from class in order to meet with Josh if needed.
We will have more of these sessions available throughout the year!
