SEATTLE Petite Finale Know Before You Go, Bellevue dress rehearsals next week!

Hello Creative Movement and Pre-Ballet families,

Tomorrow is the big day for our SEATTLE students! We are so excited to welcome you to our space and enjoy the hard work your young dancers have put into their dances. Please read through the Know Before You Go to plan for tomorrow!

Following each show there will be a short reception organized by our amazing Parent/Guardian Association featuring complementary snacks and soft drinks. The PGA will have beautiful bouquets of flowers to purchase for your dancer, as well as raffle tickets for a Ballet Birthday Party hosted at PNB, valid to be redeemed anytime in the next year. Raffle tickets are only $5!

BELLEVUE families: your turn is just around the corner, dress rehearsals take place this Thursday May 7th for Group 1, and Saturday May 9th for all other groups, check the Bellevue schedule here!

Know Before You Go: Petite Finale SEATTLE

The shows will take place at the Phelps Center in Seattle, 301 Mercer Street. Parking is not included with your ticket, please plan ahead!

Students must come ready in their PNB School uniform and their hair must be in a neat bun with no accessories for girls, and neatly combed/out of their face for boys.

Students must be checked in by their scheduled arrival time.

Families must leave the Phelps Center after their student has been dropped off to avoid overcrowding the space and line up outside.

Ticket check-in will open 10-15 minutes before showtime, if possible please have your whole party arrive together. Please buy all tickets in advance.

You’re Invited! Teen Night Thursday May 7th, schedule changes

Greetings Level VII, VIII and Adv C students and families!

You are invited to attend the annual TEEN NIGHT! This special event gives you the opportunity to be the very first audience to preview the pieces that will be presented at NEXT STEP!

These works will be presented at the NEXT STEP performances that will happen on May 15 & 16 at the Phelps Center. An important part of this development process is for the choreographers and dancers to share their process and journey in creating these works…with you!

You will all take technique 4:30-6:00, but all other Thursday classes will be canceled and it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you attend this unique and special event! The wonderful Parent/ Guardian Association will provide delicious snacks and drinks to get this party started! We are so grateful for their support!
