Dear PNB School Students and Families,
Pacific Northwest Ballet School’s 43rd Annual School Performance at McCaw Hall is right around the corner. The event is a special one for students, family and friends. If your calendar isn’t already marked, circle June 15th. Tickets will go on sale in mid-March; stay tuned for more information. As we begin to prepare for these performances, there are a few things we would like to share with you.
Saturday, June 15, students in Levels I-IV, and DanceChance perform at 12:30pm. The second performance for students in Level V-VIII and Advanced C is at 6:00pm.
James Kirby Rogers, PNB Principal dancer will be creating a new work for our Professional Division that will be performed at both shows along with George Balanchine’s Square Dance. We will be joined by the Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Juan Felipe Molano. PNB will premiere a new production with beautiful new sets and costumes next year and we will have a sneak preview with PNB students performing the famous garland dance from The Sleeping Beauty.
All students in Levels I and up will begin rehearsals shortly. Each level will devote a portion of class time to preparation. For this reason, consistent attendance at all classes is essential. We want every student to feel well-prepared and confident as they take the stage at McCaw Hall for their class dance on June 15th. Please click on the link to review, sign, and return the School Performance Participation Agreement no later than February 28, 2024.
We sincerely appreciate your efforts to ensure students attend all classes and rehearsals during the coming months. If a student is unable to commit to their schedule we may not be able to include them in this milestone performance.
Consider joining us for our annual Student Celebration Dinner at McCaw Hall after the matinee School Performance, where graduating students are honored in celebratory fashion; it is a fantastic way to commemorate the day. Look for more details to come.
Please be sure to continue to check the Parent Portal regularly for updates regarding School Performance rehearsals, tickets, and the Celebration Dinner.
We are looking forward to a great spring and a wonderful culmination of our School year.
Sincerely,
Peter Boal
Director
