IMPORTANT: Before & After Class Procedures

Good afternoon PNBS Pre-Intermediate families,

We are reaching out to clarify the drop off & pick up procedures for this class, starting Friday, October 2nd.

Dancers will wait outside Studio C for Mr. Moore or Mr. Gaspar to meet with them and take the class to the studio. Dancers should not be in any other location at this time.

Once class has concluded, dancers will wait on the steps inside the Phelps Center until a Parent/Guardian has arrived for pick-up.

Thank you!

Level VII Conference Update

Dear Level VII Families,

Beginning this year, Level VII students will have one conference each year. These conferences will take place in mid-January. We believe this timing is ideal because it gives teachers enough time to assess student progress while still leaving five months for students to apply the feedback shared during the conference.

Please contact the School if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you,

PNBS

IMPORTANT: Before and After Class procedures

Hello Tots and Creative Movement families,

We are reaching out to clarify and remind you of the procedures for procedures for bringing your dancer to class and picking them up afterwards.

All Tots and Creative Movement dancers must be accompanied all the way to the designated waiting area before class, and be picked up from that same area after class.

Tots and Creative Movement dancers at both schools should never be dropped off at the building doors, and they should never walk out to their guardian’s car on their own.

These dancers should be accompanied by a guardian all the way until they have joined their line before class, and be accompanied by a guardian from the time their teacher walks them out after class. Please always plan to park, if driving, and walk your student all the way in the facility and all the way out.

If you are ever running late for pickup please alert our team by emailing and/or calling us!

Action Required! Graduate Students & IX/PD Program Interest

Hello PNBS Level VIII and Advanced Men,

We are reaching out to inquire if you are interested in being considered for either our new Level IX program or the Professional Division program for the 2027-2028 School Year!

If you are not familiar with Level IX, the description below can help provide more information on this pilot program:

Similar to other high caliber ballet schools, PNBS is exploring the addition of a daytime training program for advanced students. For the 2026-2027 school year, a group of 7 dancers (3 pointes, and 4 flats) have been invited to participate in a pilot program. In this trial year, these dancers will attend a morning technique class and a conditioning, strength, or wellness session with the Professional Division I students. In the afternoon and on Saturday, the dancers will attend Level VIII classes, and they will rehearse and perform as Level VIII students in all PNBS productions. Level VIII will continue to be considered our graduating class per usual. Through this pilot program we hope to discover whether a daytime class offering will benefit our PNBS students and the dance community at large.

Please email the school at pnbschool@pnb.org by 9am on September 27th to let us know if you are interested in either program!

PD interest is for graduating students only, Level IX interest is open to all Level VIII and Advanced Men students.

Thank you!
