Dear Parents and Students,

It was such a pleasure to see so many of you at the Observation Week that was held in March.  I thoroughly enjoyed touching base with everyone and hope you enjoyed the week of classes.

Dance Spectrum and Spring Concert are coming up quickly and we are all looking forward to the great successes that we will witness on stage. Along with Dance Spectrum and Spring Concert, we encourage you to check out the RWB Company’s final show of the season, Pure Ballet, and the Professional Division’s In Concert and On the Edge which are coming up in May. With the weather being so nice, the shows feel even closer than ever.

See you there.

In an effort to serve you better, we are in the process of transitioning from one ticketing/database system to another.  Please be advised that tickets will not be available for purchase online until next year.  We appreciate your patience.

Parents are strongly encouraged to buy their tickets in advance as inventory at the door on the day of the performance will be extremely limited.

Ensure parents know WHICH show their child is performing in.  The shows are 3 different programs.  The School Office and website have up to date listings of the shows. The RWB Box Office will not have information on casting of each show.

Please note that students who are in only one half of the show are welcome to sit free of charge in the specified “student seating” for the other half of the show.  They will require a ticket if they will be joining parents in the audience.  Show orders are posted in the atrium.

There is a list at the School Office for parents to check spelling of names for the programs and for attendance certificates.

Costumes are provided by the RWB School for the most part.  Students may be asked to wear part of the RWB School uniform as part of the costume.  Read more »
