Join us for a five-day intensive seminar featuring demonstration and discussion of teaching approaches and techniques.

Pacific Northwest Ballet School's Teachers' Seminar brings together dance educators from around the world. Participants get an in-depth view of the PNBS syllabus, established by Founding Artistic Director, Francia Russell; and the opportunity to exchange ideas with our world-renowned faculty lead by Artistic Director, Peter Boal.

This year's Teachers' Seminar will feature a special presentation by Peter Boal on the teachings of renowned ballet instructor Stanley Williams (1925–1997), a prominent teacher at the School of American Ballet for over thirty years. Seminar participants will also have the opportunity to attend Pacific Northwest Ballet's stunning production of Swan Lake.

PNB School Teachers' Seminar will be held at The Phelps Center located on the campus of the Seattle Center. This state-of-the-art facility was designed specifically to provide for the needs of Pacific Northwest Ballet and has housed both the Company and School since 1993.
