Afternoon Level VII Families,
Individual student/parent spring conferencing for our Level VII students are coming up!
Level VII Spring conferences will take place on Monday May 4th and Friday May 8th, starting at 4pm. Level VII classes on May 4th will be cancelled but classes will happen as normal on May 8th.
As always, the student conferences will include discussions about your progress and mastering technique and artistry. Prior to conferences, your teachers work collectively to communicate their individual observations and corrections for each student. Conferences provide a platform to discuss not only what you are working on in class in the way of technique, but also your plans for the future and how we can help guide you successfully into the next chapter in your life. Parents and students please come prepared with questions and let us know how we can help make this a successful year for you.
Click here to sign up for a conference time. A second reminder will go out the weekend before May 4th that will include the Zoom links. Please try to sign up by Monday, April 27th!
We look forward to seeing you at your conference. If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email.

Hello Level VIII Students and Families,
We will be having a costume fitting with PNB Costume Shop for Swan Lake Excerpts this Friday, April 24th from 4:15pm-5:00pm!
We will be turning your Technique class into an abbreviated warm-up class from 5:00-6:00pm to adjust for the costume fitting.
It would be great if the dancers could arrive early at 4:15 to help the fitting go quickly, but we understand that many are coming straight from school. Dancers should be ready to be fitted and then go straight into class when they arrive on Friday.
Please let us know if your dancer will not be able to make it!
