Friday Schedule Changes for Ballet Utah 2 and Ballet Utah 3: GMA Building Conflict Resolution

Unfortunately, due to a building conflict, we will not be able to use the GMA building on Friday afternoons for Ballet Utah 2 classes. Hopefully, what we have worked out for the Lehi studio will be pleasing to all of the students. We try to get finished as early as possible on Fridays to allow family time.

BU2 and BU3 at the Lehi Studio: Starting Friday, September 5: 

3:45-4:45 Barre/class together (BU2 and BU3) in large studio: Sam teaches, Sophia demonstrates and assists (Large studio) 

4:45-5:15 BU2 choreography (with Sam)

4:45-5:15 BU3 goes into small room for prep pointe class (with Sophia)

5:15-5:45 BU3 goes into large studio for choreography

5:15-5:45 BU2: Sam has option of keeping BU2 in the small studio for pointe work or dismissing at 5:15. He will communicate with parents about when class will end each week. 

5:45-6:30 Jazz class (taught by Sophia) 

Ballet Utah 2: Important Note: 

We made some changes with the Ballet Utah's company schedule and are now able to offer a Ballet 7 and 8 class on Thursday evenings 5:30-7:00 at the GMA building. (You must be en pointe for 6 months to attend. This class is only offered to Ballet Utah and second year Ballet Utah 2 dancers who have been en pointe for the required 6 months.) This is an advanced class.
