Dear Wasatch Ballet Dance Family,
After careful thought and consideration, we have decided to close the studio for the remainder of March. It is our hope that all will be well, and we will see your beautiful dancers again in April. While this was a very difficult decision to make as a small business (and because we love and will miss our dancers!), we feel it is important for the health and well-being of our community. While we are still working out details and unsure of everything to come, I promise that we will honor our commitment to you to provide the best dance experience we can. For now, we will apply the remaining two weeks of March’s tuition to April. In addition, you will be glad to hear that we have not ordered the costumes for the June show. I am hopeful that this blows over quickly and we will still have time to purchase costumes and have the amazing 20th Anniversary production we have been planning. If not, we will be able to refund the costume deposits you have made. However, please give us time to see how this pans out, because I am still very optimistic that we can order the costumes! We will have to wait and see, but the most important part of the June show is seeing our beautiful children on stage, smiling and showing the results of their hard work. It is my plan to have an amazing June show, with or without costumes. We will keep you posted on the progress of this. We love our dance family and will continue to update you when things change. Meanwhile, please follow us on Instagram and Facebook! We will post fun videos and pics of our dancers, as well as helpful hints on staying in shape. “We believe art is the lifeblood of humanity. Art delivers humor and satire, art elevates our emotions and feelings, it fosters compassion by bringing us together, and art communicates who we are as a people. As we make our way through the coming weeks, we hope we can all remember that art is not just essential to the human experience--it is the human experience.” ~Ballet West We appreciate you and the support of our WBC Dance Family. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions and concerns. Stay well and we will see you soon! Allee Wolsey |

WBC's Split Club, Nov 2016 to Jan 2017
It's that time again - let's stretch, stretch, stretch!
WBC Split Club is a favorite tradition at Wasatch Ballet. We hope you’ll join in the fun! The goal of Split Club is to help our dancers create and maintain good stretching habits, both at home and in the studio.
Students will focus on stretching at home this year! Dancers should fill out the attached charts when they stretch and turn them in to the front desk for a prize (see back for instructions). At the end of January, classes in which all students have turned in charts will receive treats! Check Facebook and Instagram throughout the process for links to different stretching tips and techniques. We think Split Club is a great opportunity for all our dancers to increase their flexibility and strength. Plus, it’s fun! Start stretching today!

Month of Sharing, October 2016

Fall 2016
This is our 17th year of inspiring dancers and it is going to be extraordinary! We are expanding our studio space, programs, and class offerings! We have fabulous teachers on board who are enthusiastic, experienced, and motivated to make this year very productive and fun for every dancer. We are continually innovating, learning, and developing new ideas to create value to our customers.
WE'VE EXPANDED! CHECK IT OUT! 
ENHANCED PROGRAMS TO ACHIEVE SUPERIOR RESULTS!
For 16 years, Wasatch Ballet has been teaching the ART of dance to students of all ages. Our attention to technique, emphasis on personal growth, and love of our students has created amazing, well-rounded dancers who have gone on to dance professionally and in college dance programs. This summer, WBC’s faculty have worked together to fine-tune our Ballet and Jazz Syllabi—incorporating Allison’s Certification in the elite American Ballet Theater’s National Training Curriculum and our faculties’ years of teaching and performing experience. With new systems in place, our teachers will continue to work together to create results for your dancer! ADDITIONAL, NEW CLASSES! MORE POINTE CLASSES: All Youth 2 and higher classes will have two additional (30 minute) Pointe Classes added to their schedule. Excelling in Pointe can be a slow process. We want to accelerate this process by providing more pointe-specific classes. The more the students dance, the faster they will develop strength, coordination, and muscle memory! CONTEMPORARY DANCE: We are now offering a Contemporary Workshop Class for Intermediate 2 and 3, in addition to the Advanced Levels. Contemporary Dance (which combines ballet, jazz, and modern technique) is a fun, expressive, and beautiful dance form that fits beautifully with our ballet program. Younger dancers will continue to work on Contemporary technique within their jazz classes and companies. FLEXIBILITY & CONDITIONING: We saw such amazing results from this class last year, and are excited to offer it again to Youth 1 and Higher. This year’s teacher, Jen Cowley, has a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise and Wellness with a Minor in Contemporary Dance and is Pilates Certified! PRESCHOOL AND KIDS' TUMBLING: Due to high demand, we are now offering Tumbling for all ages! See the schedule for times and days! |
