Meet the Ballet Trainee Program Creator
Our training programs are designed Jennie Creer-King, owner and director of Central Utah Ballet and recipient of several awards related to owning, running, and choreographing for dance schools across the state. The ballet trainee programs at Central Utah Ballet are based on decades of experience in professional dance, academic, director, and instructor roles, as well as training and career programs with some of the most successful dancers in the industry.
In 2014 Jennie was hired as the Principal of the Barbara Barrington-Jones Ballet West Academy in Lehi, Utah. In collaboration with Adam Sklute, Artistic Director of Ballet West, and Peter Merz, Director of Ballet West Academy, Jennie has grew the academy from 47 students to over 500 students with the ballet trainee and summer programs.
After her tenure at Ballet West ended, Jennie opened Central Utah Ballet in Lehi, Utah to bring her knowledge, experience, and gifts to even more ballet students in the area. She has partnered with some of the top instructors and choreographers in the country as well as internationally to bring a ballet trainee program that rivals some of the best in the country.
