Beauty and the Beast
PNB School students are hard at work on Bruce Wells’ Beauty and the Beast, premiering this weekend! This hour-long, narrated production is the perfect introduction to ballet for little ones. In addition to the previously-announced dates, on March 20th we've added a sensory-friendly performance of this beloved story. PNB School families receive 20% off Beauty and the Beast performances with code 22PNBS! Click here to learn more and buy your tickets.
Support Our School
Together we have navigated two years of pandemic uncertainty, Zoom ballet classes, and rigorous Covid-19 protocols in the studios. Today we're celebrating how far we've come and looking forward to the future.
PNB School is proud to provide an environment of encouragement and inspiration to all of our students. Today, we are asking for your help as we take flight into the future. Click here to donate to the Annual PNB School Parent Fund. We appreciate you.

Upcoming On Stage
PNB's trailblazing fourth rep of the season opens this week and features a PNB premiere (Justin Peck's The Times Are Racing), a world premiere (Robyn Mineko Williams' Before I Was), Crystal Pite's Hitchcock-inspired Plot Point, and David Parsons' electrifying Caught. PNB School families receive a student rate of 20% off tickets to performances and we would love to see you in the audience.

Content warning: this production contains some themes of violence, gunfire sound effects, and strobe lighting.
Women's History TBT
This month, we're celebrating all the wonderful women of PNB, and especially our female choreographers. There's too many to mention them all here, but as a starting point we recommend the Women Who Choreograph episode of our PNB is Listening series, moderated by PNB School Faculty member Eva Stone, or our blog interview with PNB dancer Sarah Pasch about what it's like to work with Twyla Tharp.
Summer at PNB School
If you’re still looking for a summer activity for a little dancer in your life, we heartily recommend our PNB School Summer Saturday classes. Click here to learn more about these five-week Creative Movement and Pre-Ballet sessions in Seattle and Bellevue, or visit our YouTube channel to get a sneak peek into the PNBS classroom!
A Curious Tale
PNB School Faculty member Marjorie Thompson has written a new book for children ages 6-10. A Curious Tale of Magic, Mischief, and Music is a magnificently illustrated magical adventure complete with zany zombies, batty bats, and graceful ghosts! And while you're at it, get to know Ms. Thompson in her PNB School Faculty spotlight on the PNB Blog.
