DISCOVER DANCE PERFORMANCE PARTNERSHIP is a consortium of schools who have been long-time participants in PNB's outreach and education program. Designed around a unique theme, partnership schools participate in an 18-class exploration of dance and curriculum that culminates in the Discover Dance Community Performance at McCaw Hall. PNB is committed to developing more partnerships that take school learning in dance into communities.
