Our construction team has notified us that the buildout of our new studio will be finished early August, and we are so excited for everyone to see it when it is complete. It will be beautiful! Get ready for spacious, bright studios, and a brand-new dance floor.
The grand opening party will begin with a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Lehi Chamber of Commerce. We are so happy to welcome Dexonna Talbot and Lindsey Larsen, the reigning Miss Utah and Miss Lehi, to our ribbon-cutting ceremony. Both of these extraordinary women are former and current ballet students of our very own Jennie Creer-King.
In addition to the ribbon cutting, we are excited to welcome all attendees to tour our brand-new ballet studio, meet the amazing faculty of Central Utah Ballet, and learn more about the ballet classes and programs we are offering.
We know there is a lot of uncertainty in the world today due to the Coronavirus, but we are glad to be able to offer a place where ballerinas can continue to learn and practice their art. We know that for many of our aspiring dancers, having a ballet studio to dance with other dancers, have opportunities for performances, and learn in-person with phenomenal ballet instructors.
During September, Central Utah Ballet will offer a free month of classes. We are honored to be able to offer these classes to amazing students in our new studio and are glad for the opportunity to support our community by offering free classes during these uncertain times.

We look forward to seeing you there! The event will be at our new studio at 132 S. 130 E. Street in Lehi.
