The 2020 Education Program will feature new and expanded two-day programming. We are thrilled to announce that Peter Boal, Artistic Director of Pacific Northwest Ballet, will be teaching classes for our Advanced Level students. Mr. Boal joined PNB in 2005; prior to joining the company, his professional dance career included 22 years with New York City Ballet. He was also a full-time faculty member at the School of American Ballet from 1997 to 2005. His participation in the BSV education program is an incredible opportunity for students to receive instruction from one of the leaders in ballet education.

Pacific Northwest Ballet School Faculty: Peter Boal, Kelly Boal, Naomi Glass, Eva Stone as well as Principal Dancer and Idaho native, Benjamin Griffiths.

THE PROGRAM

The program will again offer instruction in all levels of ballet, contemporary dance, and choreography taught by faculty from Pacific Northwest Ballet School. The PNB Ballet School is ranked among the top ballet schools in the United States.

This life-changing opportunity will be offered to students who are selected to participate. The goal of this program is to provide young dancers with the memories, experiences, and inspiration to reach for the next level of dance—whether that is a career in dance or a life enriched by the discipline, commitment, graceful movement, healthy exercise, and knowledge of one of the world’s most beautiful art forms.

This year’s program will coincide with Festival 2020 and take place on August 22 & 23. For questions and application information please contact Christina Price, BSV Director ofEducation christina@balletsunvalley.org
