Dear Level III Families,

We hope you are enjoying our glorious PNW summer! Dance for All invites your Level III student to become a class assistant for Dance for All. This season, Dance for All offers two levels of inclusive creative dance classes for students of all abilities, ages 6–11, centered in supporting diverse physical, learning, sensory, and developmental needs.

Fall Session Details

  • Location: Francia Russell Center
  • Saturdays, 9:00–10:00 am
  • Dates: October 4–December 13 (no class 11/29)
  • Orientation: Saturday, 9/27, 9:00–9:45 am

Spring Session Details

  • Location: Francia Russell Center
  • Saturdays, 9:00–10:00 am
  • Dates: January 10–April 11 (no class 2/21)

Class assistants take on the role of peer dancer—fully participating in class, supporting fellow dancers, and helping foster leadership, empathy, friendship, and appreciation of differences. We ask a commitment of 6 classes over the course of Fall and Spring Sessions.

Dance for All classes celebrate joyful movement, live music, imagination, teamwork, friendship, and community. You can view these short video compilations from our 2024–25 classes:  Video 1 | Video 2, and watch Seattle Channel’s Dance for All story to learn more about the program’s impact.

To apply to become a class assistant, please email DanceforAll@pnb.org. You can also stop by the Dance for All table at PNBS’ Open House on September 6 to learn more—we’d love to see you there!

Warmly,
