From the reviews

Our two daughters have felt so much love, understanding, and encouragement from Maricar and her faculty at UFB. She offers excellence in training, a beautiful and clean studio to train in, performance opportunities, and most importantly, a positive and uplifting environment for each student.

★★★★★ — Nicole, Feb 2026

Maricar is absolutely amazing with these dancers. My daughter has felt immediate growth in her technique and artistry and most importantly, her confidence. In a dance style that can easily inflict anxiety and over perfection in dancers, Maricar and UFB promote such a positive and loving atmosphere for all.

★★★★★ — Lindsay, Jul 2024

Your first ballet class at Utah Festival Ballet Academy

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.
