SLDC is an amazing place where your children grow and learn to do amazing things! Dancing is hard. The director and instructors care for and want your dancer to succeed, whether just for fun or to prepare for high school, college, or even a professional career.

★★★★★ — Bart, Sep 2020

My daughter has been attending since she was 4. This place is a big family and I'll be sad when my daughter moves on as she grows up. This ballet group performs at Kingsbury hall for their recitals. They preform at Jeanne Wagner Theatre for a Christmas show named, "The Night Before Christmas"'.

Your first ballet class at Salt Lake Dance Center

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
