SEE THE SCHOOL’S DANCERS
IN STUDIO & ON STAGE
Observing dancers of The School at work together and attending their informal presentations have been cherished activities at the Pillow for many generations. There are three ways to watch dancers of The School in summer 2024. Take a peek into classes and rehearsals during in-studio observation hours, reserve a seat to watch informal studio showings, and book a ticket to see the dancers perform on the outdoor Henry J. Leir Stage.
In Studio Observation
Perles Family Studio
Quiet observation of classes and rehearsals inside the Perles Family Studio will be open from 10:45am-12:15pm and 2:30-4pm, Tuesday through Friday, June 25–August 16, on a first come, first served basis. In the case of inclement weather, School observation hours will not be held.

Performance Ensembles On Stage
Henry J. Leir Stage | Select Saturdays, 6-7pm ET
The School at Jacob’s Pillow Performance Ensembles provide an inside look into The School experience and feature repertoire created on the dancers by today’s leading choreographers. A pivotal educational experience for The School’s Dancers is when they perform for Festival and online audiences. These opportunities – June 29, July 6 (please note 5:15pm start time), July 20, and August 17 – are for you to support them, our next generation of dance artists, with your presence. 2024 Performances will also be streamed live.
Dancers of The School at Jacob’s Pillow are apprentices, trainees, pre-professionals, and early-career professionals from around the world. The School’s professional advancement curriculum connects dancers to Festival artists and resources while nurturing their distinct artistic voices as our next generation of dance artists.
