From the reviews

The School of Dance is like no other dance studio in Salt Lake City. My daughter began tiny toes at 3 and is still dancing 7 years later. The owners are the best, dancing is taught but so many other great things have come out of her classes such as life skills, manners, and friendships.

★★★★★ — Stacey, May 2021

This school is AMAZING. The people and opportunities are incredible! The teachers are all fun and goofy, and you get the benefits if both having strict teachers and laid back ones. The students are best friends and The School of Dance really is your home and family.

★★★★★ — Tillie, Apr 2020

Our daughters have been taking classes at The School of Dance for many years now and it has always been a warm and welcoming place. The owner, Kylie, is wonderful, and takes the time to get to know each student and makes sure everyone feels at home there.

★★★★★ — Chelsea, Feb 2026

The School of Dance is amazing! I am consistently impressed with how they take a personal interest in every single student. I also LOVE their consistent attention to making sure every student feels welcome and a part of the community. When they say "you belong here" they mean it.

Your first ballet class at The School of Dance

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.
