Included in this handbook is important information for participating in our Summer programs. Please read thoroughly. All students (or their parent/guardian) MUST sign off during registration that they have read the 2024 Summer Handbook and agree to abide by its policies.
ABOUT THE SCHOOL
PBT School, the official training institution of Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, is recognized as one of the nation’s finest schools for dance education and training. Under the direction of PBT School Dean Raymond Rodriguez, PBT School provides a diverse dance curriculum to students across its Children’s, Student, and Pre-Professional Divisions. Ranging from pre-ballet to pre-professional, PBT School fosters the expression, discipline, and joy of ballet at every level and cultivates the next generation of professional dancers. All PBT School instructors are certified through level 5 in the American Ballet Theatre curriculum. While students grow in their technique and artistry, PBT School works to instill a long-term appreciation for the art of ballet and the values it embodies.
PBT School is committed to:
Providing ballet education and training of the highest caliber that prepares students for professional careers in dance
Welcoming students of all levels, interests, and backgrounds
Fostering an equitable and inclusive environment
Focusing on the dancer as a whole person and nurturing them into creative, confident, and well-rounded individuals
The School’s modern and air-conditioned facility is located in Pittsburgh’s Strip District, just 1.5 miles from the heart of downtown Pittsburgh. It features seven spacious studios with sprung, Harlequin floors. Live music accompanies most classes.
In September 2016, PBT opened the doors to an expanded facility featuring floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Liberty Avenue. The 14,000-square-foot, $6.5 million annex adjoins PBT’s original five-studio facility at 2900 Liberty Avenue, adding two spacious dance studios, an expanded Pilates and Gyrotonic studio, and new adult and pre-professional dressing rooms. In 2023, new sprung, harlequin floors were installed in the remaining five studios.
PART ONE: OVERVIEW
MEDICAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Insurance Releases & Medical Forms
It is imperative that PBT School have accurate medical information. Please make sure your student’s information is updated in the Family Portal. A medical consent form will be available soon. This information allows students to seek medical attention and permits emergency treatment. Please note that both resident and commuter students must provide these forms. Students who do not have these forms on file will not be allowed to participate in class or stay in the residence halls until these forms are completed and filed with the School Office. For students who are international and need insurance, click here .
Emergencies and General Illness
If a student has a medical emergency due to illness or injury, the School or Residence staff will call 911 for an ambulance to transport the resident to the hospital. If a resident experiences illness, they should notify their Residence Advisory ASAP. The School Office can assist the student in seeking medical attention as soon as possible. If a commuter experiences illness, they should fill out the absence form accordingly.
Injury Guidance
In partnership with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center for Sports Medicine, Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre School offers injury clinics on select days of the week. During these injury clinics, UPMC Sports Med. staff will assess potential injuries and offer counsel for treatment. Students must sign up for these services. Please note that space is limited, and students are responsible for signing up for their own appointment.
If it is recommended that a student needs to see a specialist, the student will be responsible for making these appointments, checking to see if their insurance covers the service, and arranging and paying for transportation to and from the appointment. Unless it is an emergency, School/residence hall personnel cannot accompany students to and from these appointments.
Payment and Withdrawal Policy
Payments can be made through the Family Portal. Failure to meet Tuition Payment dates will forfeit the student’s space in the program(s). For students receiving Scholarships or Financial Aid, the amount will be deducted from the final payment. You should contact the School Office for any payment inquiries.
Summer Withdrawals and Refunds
Students withdrawing from summer programming for any reason must submit a written notice in advance of the date of withdrawal to [email protected] and [email protected] stating their name, program, and effective withdrawal date. Notices of withdrawal do not apply retroactively (i.e., we are not able to accept withdrawal notifications for dates that have already passed).
Prorated refunds for summer programming will be offered only in the case of documentable extenuating circumstances (i.e., injury, family emergency). In these cases, documentation should be submitted via email at the time of giving withdrawal notice. Please note that any fees or deposits are non-refundable. This includes the registration, installment (if applicable) and housing application (if applicable) fees, as well as the tuition deposit.
PART TWO: STUDIO POLICIES
Class attendance is mandatory for all students. Students are expected to attend all classes, and injured students are expected to observe all scheduled classes and complete an observation form reporting on the classroom instruction. While observing class, students MAY NOT use any electronic devices. For residents who feel sick to the extent that observation is not an option, they must check in with residential staff. The residential staff will make a determination if a student should stay home.
Option 1: Any solid-colored leotard and pink or flesh-colored tights for technique and pointe classes. Black tights may be worn for jazz and Pilates. Short dance skirts may be worn for variations and repertoire classes. Pointe shoes and jazz shoes (of any style/color) are required.
Option 2: Any solid color tights and solid color T-shirt (no design or writing), white socks, and white or black shoes. All tights must be full-length. Jazz shoes (of any style/color) are required.

PART THREE: POLICIES AND CONDUCT
3A: POLICIES
Alcohol and Other Drugs
Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre School takes its responsibility to prevent alcohol and drug use seriously and maintains an alcohol and drug-free environment.
All students at Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre are required to abstain from the consumption, possession, sale, or transport of alcoholic beverages. All students are expected to refrain from the possession, distribution, use, and sale of illegal drugs and the inappropriate use, sale, or distribution of prescription drugs at all times.
PBT School forbids any drug and alcohol-related paraphernalia. PBT School reserves the right to perform bag checks if there is suspicion of alcohol or drugs being brought on campus.
Any resident found in violation of these policies will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal from the program. Any student who knowingly remains present where alcoholic beverages are being consumed by other students, or where illegal or controlled drugs are being used, is also in violation of this policy and will be held accountable. If PBT School reasonably suspects that a resident is in violation of any of the above policies, they may require the resident to be evaluated for substance abuse, which may include drug testing and/or alcohol screening. Permission for medical personnel to conduct such testing, signed by the resident and one of their custodial parents/guardians, must be on file before the resident is allowed on Chatham premises.
Sanctuary Policy
To encourage students to seek help for medical emergencies involving alcohol or drugs, the School has instituted a “sanctuary policy.” If a resident determines that they or a friend needs immediate medical attention as a result of alcohol or drug use, the resident may contact the staff person on duty or a member of the PBT School faculty or staff. Residents must understand that there will be mandated situational follow-up. No disciplinary action will be taken if (i) the student is seeking aid, (ii) the School knows of the policy violations in no other way, (iii) all recommendations that are made as part of the follow-up (including any recommendations of those taking leave from the School) are followed. The individuals notified of the sanctuary incident are those to whom the information is directly pertinent. This may include the resident’s parents/guardians, the Dean of PBT School, the Head of the Pre-Professional Division, and the Manager of Residential Programs.
Families are responsible for any damages caused by student actions to any facility or vehicle used for the duration of the program. This includes studios, residence halls, or any vehicle for student transportation.
Students who struggle with concerns that may put them in violation of the Summer Program Handbooks are encouraged to seek support and assistance from staff. Examples include, but are not limited to: drug use and alcohol use. In most instances, PBT School will not suspend a student who requests amnesty. However, PBT School reserves the right to deem suspension necessary when extreme factors such as public safety or requests from law enforcement are involved.
Anti-Hazing
PBT School considers hazing in any form a serious offense and does not differentiate in terms of degree. PBT School reserves the right to determine the violation of our anti-hazing regulations in terms of PBT School’s definition of anti-hazing law, civil prosecution notwithstanding. For a complete description of this law, please click here .
Bullying and Cyberbullying
PBT School is dedicated to providing all residents with a safe and healthy environment where they can grow both artistically and personally. This policy protects residents from bullying/aggressive behavior and seeks to affirm the dignity and worth of each individual.
Any form of bullying and cyberbullying (including but not limited to text messages, phone calls, social media posts, websites, emails, and instant messaging) is strictly prohibited.
Bullying has been defined as an intentional electronic, written, verbal, or physical act or a series of acts:
Directed at another student or students;
Which occurs in a school setting;
That is severe, persistent, or pervasive; and
That has the effect of doing any of the following:
Substantially interfering with a student’s education;
Creating a threatening environment; or
Substantially disrupting the orderly operation of the school; and “school setting” shall mean in the school, on school grounds, in school vehicles, at a designated bus stop, or at any activity sponsored, supervised, or sanctioned by the school.
Examples of bullying include, but are not limited to: aggressive relational and social behavior such as manipulating social relationships, exclusion/isolation, rumor spreading, belittling, intimidations, physical acts of aggression, and/or destruction of another’s personal property.
PBT School bases its bullying policy off of the PA Anti-Bullying Law for educational institutions. None of the above behaviors are tolerated and any violation of this policy will result in the resident being subject to the Resident Conduct Process. Sanctions may include dismissal from PBT School.
Bullying should be reported to the Manager of Residential Programs or PBT School Staff. All reports will be investigated and resolved in a timely manner.
Sexual Activity
Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre School does not condone sexual activity between minors and strictly prohibits such activity on PBT properties, including but not limited to Chatham University and excursions. Failure to comply with this policy will result in severe disciplinary action and will also result in the notification of parents/guardians. Sanctions may include dismissal.
Mandated Reporting
At Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, all staff are legally required to report any suspicion of child abuse or neglect to the relevant authorities. Due to the typically vulnerable nature of these situations, PBT staff strictly follow the guidelines outlined through Pennsylvania law.
Posting/Recording Policy
PBT School recognizes that social networks and other media-based platforms are prominent realities in our society as well as part of a dancer’s image. However, any resident who takes and posts any photos or videos of another individual without their consent is prohibited. Recording another individual without their consent is also strictly prohibited. Any resident found in violation of this policy may be subject to sanctions through the Resident Conduct Process.
Tobacco and Smoke-Free Policy
It is a violation of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania law for any individual under the age of 18 to purchase any tobacco products, including but not limited to: cigarettes, e-cigarettes, chew, and vaporizers. PBT School prohibits underage smoking or use of nicotine products and strongly discourages the use by of-age students. Smoking or the use of nicotine products is not permitted in PBT facilities or at Chatham University--all PBT School properties are smoke and tobacco-free. Any resident in possession of any prohibited products will be subject to disciplinary action.
Weapons Policy
Possession and carrying of a weapon by any person other than authorized security personnel on PBT properties or at any PBT-sponsored event is strictly prohibited. Any weapon that is found on PBT properties or any PBT-sponsored events may result in user discipline and removal.
3B: CODE OF CONDUCT
Community Standards
The following community standards synthesize PBT policies and procedures into a value-based contract for a positive living and learning experience with PBT. Dancers are expected to follow these standards while enrolled at PBT. Below each community standard are examples of potential violations. Note that violations are not limited to these examples.
Violations include: making false reports, knowingly being in the presence of a violation, fleeing the scene, violating housing and/or studio policies.

At PBT School, all of our standards and policies are designed to create a safe and hospitable living and learning environment for all students. Any violations of these standards will be subject to disciplinary action. Whenever possible, these measures will be implemented with the goal of the resident taking responsibility and reconciling with the community. However, PBT still maintains the right to permanently dismiss a student due to a serious violation of community or other standards.
PBT Inquiry Procedures
PBT reserves the right to confiscate and/or search the contents of a resident’s cell phone or any other electronic communication or information storage device if a PBT staff member suspects that it was used in violation of a community standard or policy. Examples include, but are not limited to: harassment or where there is a concern for the safety of the student and/or others.
Any dancer or PBT employee wanting to report a violation of PBT community standards and policies should do so in a timely manner after the violation occurs (preferably within 24 hours). Reports of alleged violations should be made to the Manager of Residential Programs or PBT School Office and should include the names of individuals involved, along with details of the violation.
Anti-Retaliation
Dancers have the right to be free from retaliation. PBT does not allow any threats or other forms of intimidation or retribution against a resident:
What files a complaint or grievance
Who participates or serves as a witness in the conduct process
Who opposes an unlawful act, discriminatory practice, or policy
Anyone who threatens, intimidates, or retaliates against another resident may be subject to disciplinary action.
Available Disciplinary Measures
Early Room Curfew: Residents will be assigned a date where they must report to their room at a time prior to curfew determined by housing staff. The resident may only leave to use the restroom.
Loss of Sign Out Privileges: Residents will no longer be able to sign out, other than go to class, for a period of time determined by housing staff.
Confiscation of Prohibited Property: Any item that is prohibited by residence hall policy will be confiscated by staff. Items may be returned at the discretion of housing staff.

Fines: Residents will be required to pay a monetary sum to PBT in a timely manner.
Removal from the Program
Additional Sanctions: Additional sanctions may be created and implemented by housing staff and PBT administrative staff if deemed appropriate to the offense with the approval of the Dean of PBT School or designee. This includes but is not limited to loss of excursions without a refund and weekend room restriction.
PART FOUR: HOUSING
(FOR STUDENTS STAYING ON CAMPUS AT CHATHAM UNIVERSITY ONLY)
Key Card & Room Key
At check in, residents will be given a residence hall room key and a key card for the front door. Students will turn in building access key cards to the Resident Advisor on duty each night by curfew. Students will pick them up again in the morning when leaving for breakfast. Students should bring key rings to help prevent the loss of resident halls keys, though these key rings should not identify whose key it is or what room the key opens.
If a resident loses their room key or key card, they have 24 hours to find it or they will have to pay for a replacement. Students must notify a Resident Advisor immediately if they have lost their room key or key card. Lost resident hall room keys result in a $25 charge; a lost key card will result in a $100 charge. Replacement charges must be received by the school office before a replacement is provided.
Signing Out/In
During free time after class, students may enjoy campus ground and local shops within a certain distance of the residence halls (a walking boundaries map will be provided/posted in the dormitories). To keep students safe, students must sign out before leaving the residence hall.
Any student, regardless of age, may only leave the residence halls when accompanied by two other students. Students are never permitted to travel alone. Students may NOT sign one another out--everyone must sign out themselves. Breaking sign-out rules will result in immediate loss of sign-out privileges.
Signing Out with a Non-Resident
Students are only permitted to leave campus with non-residents who are over the age of 21, and only with written parent/guardian permission given in advance. Students 17 and under may not sign out with another student in the program that is 18 or older unless they are listed appropriately on their approved visitor form. Parents/guardians are required to fill out a summer visitor form at least 48 hours before any non-resident signs out a resident. Non-residents are required to show ID when they arrive to pick up residents in order to confirm identity and age. Residents may only sign out from the residence halls. Residents must return back to the residence halls by curfew.
Residence Hall Visitors
Visitors must be first listed on a student's approved visitor form and must sign in with housing staff upon arrival. This includes any guest of a student age 17 and under who is also in the program.
Residents are responsible for their guest. Inappropriate or rowdy behavior will result in visitors being asked to leave the dormitory/campus. When visiting throughout the program, parents/guardians and friends must leave the dormitory no later than 9 p.m.
Our summer programs demand a great deal of vigorous physical activity. To remain healthy and alert during the day, our students need to get proper rest. Curfews are strictly enforced, and all residents are expected to abide by curfew. Failure to observe curfew may result in dismissal.
Sunday through Friday, the curfew is as follows:
All students must sign back in by 9 p.m.
All students must be in their assigned room by 10:30 p.m. (All laundry, showers, phone calls, etc. must be finished before this time.)
Lights out at 11 p.m.
On Saturday, the curfew is as follows:
All students must sign back in by 9:30 p.m.
All students must be in their assigned room by 11 p.m. (All laundry, showers, phone calls, etc. must be finished before this time.)
Lights out at 11:30 p.m.
Visiting Other Rooms
Resident students in the same hall may visit each other's room's between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. Doors must be kept open at all times when a visitor is in the room. Residents may only visit a student's room in the building to which they were assigned. Other resident students may visit each other's building between 10 a.m. and 9 p.m. Students may only utilize the communal first floor space when visiting a building to which they were not assigned; students are not permitted in student rooms if they are visiting the other dormitory building. Resident visitation rights may be terminated if utilized inappropriately.
Housing Requests, Assignments, or Room Changes
Students may request a single-occupancy room or request roommates. Housing requests will be accommodated as much as possible, though there is no guarantee that any housing requests will be granted. Late housing requests should be communicated ahead of May if possible.
Room assignments will be communicated in May ahead of move-in. All room assignments are final, and changing rooms is strictly prohibited.
Cleaning and Maintenance
All residents are responsible for keeping their residence hall rooms clean and orderly. Bathrooms and showers are cleaned by the University Housekeeping department; however, they are to be left in proper order after use. Maintenance work or repairs may need to be done in a student room; when possible, housing staff will notify the resident prior to entry.
Room Inspections and Entry
Housing staff will conduct weekly room inspections to ensure that cleanliness and safety are maintained. PBT reserves the right to enter any residence hall room at any time for the purpose of inspection, or when there is reason to believe that program rules are not being followed.
The following may result in failure of room inspection:
Unsafe/misuse of any furniture
Overloaded circuits
Use of nails, tape, or other prohibited hanging devices on the walls
Lack of cleanliness (trash, etc.)
Medications found in room
Any evidence of other prohibited items
Residents who fail a room inspection are expected to correct the issue immediately. Housing staff reserve the right to implement daily room inspections or disciplinary sanctions like loss of sign out privileges until the room can consistently pass room inspection.
Housing and PBT School staff reserve the right to enter any room for the following reasons:
Room inspections (as outlined above)
Smoke, fire, water, or odors coming from a room
Reasonable suspicion that someone is in a threatening situation
Reasonable suspicion of a policy violation
Maintenance work is needed
Medications
Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre School requires residential students to register all medications with the Residence Life staff or School Administration at the time of move-in. Medications include both prescription and non-prescription preparations and includes those taken by mouth or by inhaler, those which are injectable ( EpiPen ), those applied as drops to eyes or nose, or those applied to skin. Medications including inhalers and EpiPens must always be present with the child. A backup of each is also required and should be given to staff. If you have the ability to send three of the items ( one for school, one for housing, one for the student to carry) this is preferable, but they will need at least two .
The unauthorized or inappropriate use, possession or distribution of prescription or over-the-counter medications is strictly forbidden and is a violation of the code of conduct as specified in this handbook.
Students must use their assigned bathroom in the residence hall. Students are not permitted to walk through the halls in towels. Students must wear clothes or a bathrobe.
Students are responsible for their own laundry—residents should be sure to have an ample
supply of laundry detergent. Housing staff will instruct residents on the proper use of residence hall machines. Residents are expected to remove their laundry from washers and dryers within 30 minutes after a load is done. After 30 minutes, clothes may be transferred to PBT laundry baskets. Laundry machines are located in each dorm and are free of charge.
Air Conditioners
Chatham residence hall rooms are not air conditioned. There are a limited number of rooms available that will support air conditioner units, based on medical need. To apply for an air conditioned room:
1. Indicate in the Housing Application your wish to acquire the AC unit for the room.
2. It is required that you submit a doctor’s note detailing your need for an air conditioning unit. Please submit a note to [email protected] . Notes must be submitted ahead of room assignments.
3. After we receive the doctor’s note, the $125 charge will be applied to your account. You will be notified via email.
4. Air conditioning units will be installed within five days of arrival.
Students may not bring a vehicle to the residence halls—no exceptions. Furthermore, residents are not permitted to leave the studios or residence halls in the car of a commuter student. Regardless of age, students must have special permission to leave the residence halls in cars or by public transportation; this is reserved for special circumstances and must be granted by the Manager of Residential Programs.
Spending Money
Students will need spending money while in Pittsburgh for excursions (ISP), extracurricular activities, and dinner on Sundays. Please do not send personal checks with your child; PBT cannot cash checks. We recommend travelers’ checks, gift cards, or ATM cards. An ATM is available on the Chatham University Campus. Students should not carry large amounts of cash with them or keep large amounts of cash in their residence hall room.
ISP Excursions and Other Activities
PBT School offers a variety of services and activities during the Intensive Summer Program. This will include on-campus activities and several excursions into Pittsburgh. You must sign up with PBT School to attend these excursions.
