From the reviews

Professional dance center where the teachers are more interested in technique than trophies. They do not do competition dance. They believe girls should NOT be pushed too hard. They are focused on the girls capabilities and maintaining a good technique.

★★★★★ — Chris, Feb 2016

I was in preschool here for three years, and danced here for over ten. It's safe to say that Utah Dance has shaped who I am today! Utah Dance Center is run by a local family with a real passion for dance.

My kids have been attending Utah Dance Center for the past seven years. We love the staff, preschool, dance camps and especially the end of year performances.

★★★★★ — Bonnie, Aug 2021

I am a dancer here, and I love it so much! Kristy and every single teacher is just amazing! The end of the year recital is so much fun, we did Snow White last year, and I had so much fun being a dwarf, evil queen's court, and evil queen's sidekick! I would definitely recommend coming here if your kid loves to dance!

Your first ballet class at Utah 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.
