Happy Halloween PNBS Families!
We are excited to invite your dancers to wear dance appropriate Halloween costumes to their last class* before Halloween if they do not have Saturday classes, or on Halloween, Saturday October 31st!
Please note that teachers may ask dancers to remove parts or all of their costume if it is overly distracting to the class. Please avoid costumes that shed glitter as it can make the floors slippery!
*If your student has a watch day on their last class before Halloween, please plan to wear costumes on the prior class, email us if you have any questions about this!
CANDY! We are accepting donations to our front desk candy supply at both schools!
We ask that dancers please wait until AFTER class to consume any sweet treats!
Hello PNBS families!
We all hope that you all have been having a great school year so far!
We are excited to announce a brand new merch site for year-round PNBS Merch. Just scan the QR code below to order, or follow the link here!
Proceeds from merch sales support the PNBS Parent/Guardian Association’s fundraising efforts. A huge thank you to the fantastic PGA team for putting these designs and items together, we hope you enjoy!
Reminder! Watch days have started, if you need help finding your dancer’s scheduled date please email us and we can help.

Join us for a special behind-the-scenes experience with Pacific Northwest Ballet!
Before Pacific Northwest Ballet’s performance of GHOST STORIES, we’re opening the theater doors exclusively for the PNB School community to observe Company Class onstage. Get a rare glimpse into PNB’s professional dancers’ warm-up ritual as they prepare to take the stage, and experience the focus, artistry, and tradition that go into every performance. Want to stay to watch the performance? All attendees will receive a code for 50% off GHOST STORIES when they RSVP.
Following Company Class, Artistic Director Peter Boal will share more about our Capital Campaign, Building Ballet, and guests will see renderings of the reimagined Phelps Center and brand new PNB School location, the Peter Boal Center.

Hello PNBS Families,

Between 1st Ave and 5th Ave, Mercer Street will be closed from 7am to 10am along with other street closures that could impact families. Students will not be able to be dropped off in the loading zone in front of Phelps Center as usual until the roads are open again.

Mr. Boal will be observing your Technique class on Monday, October 26th and then teaching your class on Monday, November 9th. In preparation for this, all students will need to have their headshot taken to create a class sheet for Mr. Boal. These photos will be used for internal use only. I will be taking student headshots before class next Monday, October 12th in Studio B. Please review the times and dress code requirements below for your class. (Level IX dancers please disregard as you have already had your headshot taken. Please reach out if you’d like me to retake your photo.)
Level VIII – 5:00pm-5:30pm – Studio B
Please arrive in your PNBs uniform leotard with your hair in a bun. Please keep jewelry minimal.
Advanced Men – 5:30pm-5:45pm – Studio B
Please arrive in your PNB dress code white shirt.
If you are unable to make it on Monday, please let me know and we can find a time to reschedule!
Let us know if you have any questions.
Best,
