Phelps Center Traffic Advisory this Saturday 3/28

Hello PNBS Families,

We are reaching out to let you know that we anticipate lots of extra traffic in and around the Seattle Center this weekend.

In addition to afternoon performances at McCaw Hall and Seattle Rep, there is also the International Gem and Jewelry Show in Exhibition Hall beneath the Phelps Center, The Color Festival at Seattle Center, UFC at Climate Pledge Arena (10,000+ attendees) and the No Kings Protest which will start on Capitol Hill and end on the Seattle Center Campus.

We are expecting the confluence of these events to significantly increase pedestrian and car traffic around the Phelps Center. There will likely be lines to enter and exit the parking garages. We recommend budgeting extra time into your commute to classes in Seattle this Saturday!

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Level VIII Spring Conference Sign-Up

Afternoon Level VIII families,

Individual student/parent conferencing for our Level VIII students will take place on Wednesday, April 22nd.

Conferences will replace Level VIII classes on 4/22, and will take place over Zoom in 15 minute time blocks. This means that on 4/22 your students regularly scheduled classes will be cancelled that day.

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 week of April 20th that will include the Zoom links!

We look forward to seeing you at your conference. If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email.

Important! New Voices Photos Tonight – Dress Code Reminder

Hello Level VII and VIII Students and Families

PNB Photographer Angela Sterling will be coming to New Voices classes TONIGHT Wednesday, 3/25, to take photos! Ms Stone would like the students’ uniforms to match for these photos, and she would strongly prefer all of the dancers wear black tights over their class leotard this evening.

However, if not everyone has black tights the class will need to wear pink/flesh colored tights, so bring both options if possible!

Thank you,

PNB School

IMPORTANT! Phelps Center Load Zone Unavailable Tuesday 3/24

Hello PNBS Phelps Center families,

Tomorrow, Tuesday March 24th, there will be a PNB DISCOVER DANCE performance event at McCaw Hall. This event uses school buses to bring families and student performers from local public schools to and from McCaw Hall. 

We request that you do not park or leave your car unattended in the loading zone along Mercer Street in front of McCaw Hall and the Phelps Center between 4:00-8:15pm in order to keep the load zone clear for buses to safely drop-off and pick-up families.

PNB will have signage and staff in the McCaw Hall load zone on the evening of 3/24 to remind drivers to keep the area clear for buses, as needed. We appreciate your support with this effort as we work towards welcoming DISCOVER DANCE families to an exciting evening at McCaw Hall.

Thank you!
