PNBS Annual Leotard Exchange 2026!!

Hello PNB families and happy summer!

We’re excited to announce the annual Leotard Exchange is happening during the PNB’s Back to School Nights on Tuesday, September 8th in Seattle and on Wednesday, September 9th in Bellevue!

This is a wonderful opportunity to donate gently used PNBS leotards your dancer has outgrown and get a PNBS leotard for the season ahead. Even if you don’t have one to donate, you are still welcome to pick up a new-to-you leotard. We will have a variety of already-donated leotard levels and sizes on hand (*note: we can’t guarantee that everyone will receive a leotard due to the limited sizes and levels that are donated). Availability will be first-come, first-served. You drop off your donated leotard at either school location starting now or you can bring it with you to the Leotard Exchange!

If your student wears our male identifying uniform, we are also taking those as well! (White snug fitting t-shirt & black tights/leggings.)

Donating Leotards? We kindly ask that all donated leotards be laundered (no fabric softener) before drop-off.

Thank you for helping us build a supportive and sustainable dance community. We look forward to seeing you at our Back to School Nights!

Warmly,

The PNBS Parents and Guardians Association

REMINDER: First day of classes is Thursday September 10

Action Required! Level IV Beginning Pointe Information

We are pleased to welcome pointe shoe fitters from Freed of London’s New York office to the Francia Russell Center and the Phelps Center to fit pointe shoes for all Level IV students. The school is thrilled to take advantage of this very rare opportunity to be fit with expert guidance.

We will send out additional information, including which campus will be going on which days, along with a sign-up form to reserve fitting time will be sent to students in early September.

Please click the link below to fill out the Shoe Information form by August 31st. Freed will need this information to gather shoe sizes so that they can accommodate everyone.

Level IV Shoe Information Form 2026-26 (please complete by August 31st)

Most students will be fit in the Freed “Studio” shoe. Payment may be made with cash, check, VISA or Mastercard at the time of your fitting. Freed is pleased to offer free nylon ribbon and elastic with your purchase.
