Dear Creative Movement, CD Boys, and Pre-Ballet Families:

You are cordially invited to Pacific Northwest Ballet School’s Petite Finale, a very special performance of our Creative Movement and Pre-Ballet students. This studio performance offers our youngest students the opportunity to show you the progress they have made this year. Following your student’s performance, Pacific Northwest Ballet School’s upper level students will perform selections from Pacific Northwest Ballet’s repertoire. A reception with refreshments will complete the afternoon.

2024 Petite Finale Performance Dates

(See the schedule links above for your specific rehearsal and performance dates and times.) Please note: if your student’s regular class falls on the same day as their Dress Rehearsal and Performance, their regular class is cancelled that day. All classes will continue after Petite Finale performances through the end of the school year (June 15).

*This Dress Rehearsal is mandatory for all students planning to dance in Petite Finale, and it is part of the Participation Agreement. It is a critical part of the preparation process to ensure our students are ready and confident to perform. It is the only time your student will practice with the other classes in their performance group and get a chance to try out their entrances and exits in the actual performance space.

Attendance in regular classes is critical for performance participation (Creative Movement students must be enrolled for 3rd and 4th Quarter classes in order to participate in a Petite Finale performance).  While preparing for the performance, students will continue to learn and grow in their understanding and appreciation of dance as well as begin a more in-depth look into musicality and choreography.  Please note: classes will resume the week following Petite Finale and will continue through June 15th.

Please review the attached rehearsal and performance schedule carefully, then click here to complete and submit the attached participation agreement as soon as possible (no later than January 31, 2023). We require a completed form for students who are participating or not participating in the Petite Finale. I hope you will enjoy this opportunity to see your children perform.  I know they are excited to prepare for it.

Petite Finale is a ticketed event. Tickets will be available for purchase later this spring; more details to come.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact the School Office at 206.441.2435.

Sincerely,

Denise Bolstad

Managing Director
