What People Are Saying

“Miss Jamie is the reason we love dance in our house. She is the perfect mix of fun and fundamentals!”

— Chasidy a.

“Our daughter began dancing with UAC when she was 3 years old and has been there for the past 3 years. She has loved her time there. The instructors, technique, and opportunities offered by Utah Arts Collective are excellent. We have watched our daughter grow in her ability and confidence. She is building friendships alongside life skills such as learning how to work with others on a team, discipline, and the importance of consistency all while having a great time! We have been especially grateful for the tasteful and age appropriate approach to music, dance choreography, and costumes. We feel very fortunate to have our daughter learning and growing as a dancer at UAC!”

— elyse s.

“Finding the right fit in a dance studio for your children can be a tough process. However, Ciara made our move to UAC seamless! We were nervous about changing our girls from a studio they had been attending for over 7 years but it has been SO good and we are beyond happy we did! I would say without hesitation, that my girls progressed more in 1 year at UAC than they had in the previous 3 years combined. While every studio can have its pros and cons, UAC really does a good job of looking at the strengths and weaknesses of each dancer to help them progress individually. My girls have been happier and so have I...in the end that is what really matters.
5 STAR recommendation (for reals)!”
