2026/2027 PNB Student Buttons!

Hello PNB School Families and Students!

Starting this week, all students in Creative Movement through Level IX at both Seattle and Bellevue will receive an official PNB Student Button for the 2026-2027 season! We ask that your student please pin this button on a dance bag that they consistently bring with them to the studios. If you student does not use a dance bag, we strongly encourage they start to bring one with them. It must always be attached to their dance bag and visible as a form of identification for the security guard, external door camera or front desk to see.

If you ever lose your button, please check in the with the front desk to see if it was returned because all student buttons will have individual names on the back. If your button is lost, it will be $5 for a replacement.

As always, PNB will continue to prioritize safety and security throughout the 26-27 season and will continue to communicate with students and families. We appreciate your continued understanding and support.

Best,

Safety & Security Team

Elementary Leotard Update!

Good evening PNBS Elementary Families!

As many of you may know, our Elementary leotards are sold out of almost every size at On Pointe Dancewear, the local retailer we partner with to sell our PNB Logo Leotards. After discussion with our school administration, we would like to offer families a few different options for our Elementary dress code until On Pointe is able to restock and/or your leotard is able to be purchased. Students can wear the following:

Any solid-color leotard that you currently own (no tutus or skirts allowed)
If students have a PNB logo leotard from their previous year that still fits them, they can wear those for the time being
Students may borrow a white Creative Movement or red Pre-Ballet leotard from the school until they are able to purchase a leotard. You can check in with the front desk to see if we have a spare leotard in your student’s size for them to borrow!

Please let us know if you have any further questions, we are so excited to welcome your students back to PNB School this fall!

Best,

PNB School Staff
