Program areas at PNB

Pacific Northwest Ballet company (PNB) consists of 46 dancers and a live orchestra that annually present six repertory productions of full-length and mixed repertory ballets, and George Balanchine's The Nutcracker(R) at Marion Oliver McCaw Hall that are attended by more than 225,000 adults and children. PNB also performed on tour in New York City. Our programming reflects PNB's dedication to making ballet accessible to people of all ages and from all walks of life. We accomplish this by showcasing traditional ballet and innovative contemporary choreography, providing live orchestra music, offering behind-the-scenes experiences, and cultivating new generations of arts participants and enthusiasts through dance education and engagement.
Pacific Northwest Ballet (PNB) Community Education program presents dance and curricula in area classrooms and at workshops. We offer residencies for students grades Pre-K to 12, as well as teacher workshops, training and curriculum development. Selected performances and workshops are offered for school groups. PNB's general audience education includes studio previews and discussions with choreographers and artists.
PNB School is regarded as one of the preeminent ballet institutions in the nation, setting the standard for excellence in training. Our Professional Division and Summer Course attract and train talented students from around the United States and the world. The School offers a complete professional curriculum to about 800 students annually and plays an instrumental role in the developing the Company's distinctive style. Students perform in an end of the year performance, and with the company as needed. The School also offers recreational dance instruction. Scholarships totaling around $650,000 are offered to help attract and retain promising young artists. The School has a faculty of 27 instructors and 20 piano accompanists at two locations.
