Session Description

Performing Experience Company Rehearsals: PD students may be called to PNB Company rehearsals. If called, students are expected to attend all scheduled rehearsals, whether or not they are cast to perform. The School office must be notified if rehearsals conflict with School classes. School dress code is required in rehearsals. Company Performances: PD students may perform in George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker®. A select number of students may be cast in other productions throughout the season. NEXT STEP: PD students may be selected to participate in NEXT STEP, a choreographic showcase where PNB School’s Professional Division students perform an all-premiere line up of works created just for them by PNB Company dancers. This one-night-only performance in June continues PNB’s commitment to bringing new works to the McCaw Hall stage. Not all PD students are cast in NEXT STEP. PNB Annual School Performance, held at Marion Oliver McCaw Hall in June: Professional Division students perform original choreographic works and excerpts from PNB’s repertory. Teacher Assistants: PD students may be selected to assist with Children’s Division and Student Division classes. Teacher Assistants gain valuable experience working with PNB School instructors, learning to manage children in a classroom setting through demonstration and verbal instruction. Please see Abbie Siegel if you are interested in this opportunity.
