“Happily, Ballet Sun Valley Festival 2020, rather than having the Pacific Northwest Ballet company fly to Idaho, arranged for PNB to fly instead to our computer screens so that we could view and enjoy a mix of archival videos from PNB’s vast repertory and video performances that were more recently rehearsed and then filmed on PNB’s home stage of McCaw Hall.”

Dancers without Borders – Danielle Rowe

Some dancers have a set list of goals from a young age, and move through life ticking them off one after the other; others change path and direction as they go, finding new goals along the way…
