Utah Dance Artists555

I have 3 daughters dancing at UDA and have been with them for 8 years and we couldn't be happier. My girls love this studio because of the girls they dance with, their teachers, the sparkly costumes and the fun music. I love this studio because the office staff is organized and wonderful to work with. I always know what is going on and, although the annual recital is a big commitment, the handbook gives me every detail I need to know about the weekend. It makes the whole weekend more fun and easier than you would think. If ever I have a question that I can't find on the website or handbook, a quick e-mail gets me an answer quickly. The recital is amazing and very professional. I get chills every year when the opening music starts. I love being able to sit and watch what my girls have worked so hard to accomplish.
The teachers are wonderful and have training far beyond their high school drill team. They know my daughters' individual strengths and weaknesses and help them to get those skills that they are struggling with. I have been amazed at the growth I've seen in my daughters' abilities. Technique is emphasized in every class they take and my girls know that they can't fake anything because it's just that important to their teachers. I love that the money I spend is actually going to a dance education rather than just a dance class.
The discipline that my girls have learned from the studio has been so good for our family. The teachers are terrific at enforcing the studio rules, but in a way that teaches my daughters what is expected of them without demeaning my girls or disrespecting them in any way. My girls learned to follow classroom rules at 3 years old because of UDA, and it has helped them in so many other areas of their lives.
UDA seems very aware of modesty in costumes, music and choreography. As a mother of 3 little girls, I appreciate this so much and it makes it that much easier to drop them off at class. I know that I don't have to worry.
I can honestly say that there have been a few rare instances that we have not been completely happy with a teacher or a specific experience, but what speaks volumes about a business is the way that your complaint is handled. The office manager and office staff is so capable and ready to listen and the few problems I have had have been addressed immediately and then were followed up on afterwards. We love Brooke, the owner of the studio. When my problem is more than what the office staff can address, Brooke is always willing to talk to me over the phone or set an appointment to talk face to face. She wants her dancers and parents to be happy and she'll sit down with you and listen to your concerns and try her hardest to get those concerns fixed. My girls look up to her and I am happy to say that I love the fact that they see her as a role model.
I feel very blessed to have found UDA. There are a lot of dance studios, but not many are like the UDA family and our girls couldn't be happier there!

...years ago I went looking for a studio for my three year old daughter. I was really impressed with the talented staff,the professional recital, and the studio space with observation room. My daughter has learned so much compared to her friends that are at other studios. My only complaint would be that the organization is a little lacking. I feel like we get a lot of information at the last minute. Last year we weren't sure which recital my daughter would dance in until a few weeks before the recital. This year they've also been using the owner's basement as part of the studio. This has been very frustrating for a lot of the parents. For the price I pay for this studio it would be nice to have them a little more organized and for the studio to all be in one location. Overall, if you want your child to become a great dancer...this is the studio to send them to.

This is currently my 5th year with Utah Dance Artists. I love it because the faculty is not only very professional, but they really care about their students. I have learned so much at this studio and would recommend it to everyone at any dance level.

Last year was our first year at Utah Dance Artists. The studio is extremely well organized and the training is the best out there. I am very impressed with the faculty and the professionalism of everything they do; from what goes on in the classroom to an amazing year end show! We have been extremely pleased and will be back again this year.

I found Utah Dance Artists a few months after moving to the Salt Lake area. We had tried another studio, and were not very happy. Brooke Healy (owner/directress) made me feel immediately comfortable the first time I spoke with her. Everything about her studio is high quality, wonderful studio, fantastic teachers, organized office, stunning recitals - and all the students love it there!
