Pacific Northwest Ballet School operates differently from many other company-affiliated programs. In this episode, Denise Bolstad, Managing Director of PNB School, breaks down what sets it apart. We explore the structure of the Professional Division, how dancers are selected, training expectations, performance opportunities, and the path from PD to the main company. Denise also shares insights on recruitment, summer intensive considerations, and how PNB supports dancers who don’t get promoted. If you're interested in PNB’s Professional Division, this episode is a must-listen!
