PBS Auxiliary

Parksville Ballet School is very fortunate to have an auxiliary.  The PBS Auxiliary is a non-profit organization whose sole purpose is to help support the school, the students and their families.  PBS Auxiliary has been a vital part of the ballet school for over 25 years, promoting and enhancing the continuing excellence of the Parksville Ballet School. 

     In the past, the PBS Auxiliary has provided bursaries for both festivals and to the International Tap Competition competitors.  They have purchased first aid items, costumes, a piano, video and audio items, master classes, portable barres and floors, bodysuits and national skirts.  The PBS Auxiliary has also been able to pay for Festival fees and some Exam Fees. 

     The Auxiliary also supports both the Nanaimo and Courtenay festivals by donating bursaries and financial support is also given to those students who are chosen to represent the festival at the Provincial level. 

     The auxiliary meets one evening each month at the ballet school.  The AGM is held around the end of September and as a parent or guardian of a dancer, you are encouraged to become a member of the PBS Auxiliary.  Membership is required to maintain our non-profit standing and to continue to support the students as they have been accustomed.  Meetings are friendly and informative and volunteers can help you with any questions you have regarding the dance world.  Please start attending at your earliest convenience, volunteer at events, host a fundraiser, become a phone parent or class liaison.  Everyone is welcome!
