Dear Prospective Students and Families,
I warmly invite you to join a new, premier ballet studio. At Étoile, we meet students with kindness and respect, evaluate their training, recognize their promise, and individualize the best approach for young dancers to pursue their aspirations and reach their fullest potential.
During this 2026-2027 opening year, we will be focusing on attracting Étoile’s core student base. The Rising Stars Program will be unique in the Salt Lake Valley for its focus and range of ballet training. These young dancers will hone their skills as part of an intensive, professionally structured program to refine technique, develop artistry, and build the strength, discipline, and competence essential for success in today’s dance world.
We recognize that students committed to the arts are defining their passion. Dancers aspiring to take the stage discover that ballet provides a distinct advantage, serving as the technical foundation upon which nearly every genre of dance is built. For young dancers who are ready to find greater purpose and direction in their training, Étoile offers a limited Bridge Program to help them define their path and gradually ease them into the mindset, rigors, and exhilaration of serious dance study and performance as Rising Stars.
Many students are inquiring about Private Lessons at Étoile. This is an opportunity for dancers to benefit from personalized attention, focused progress, and training tailored to their exact goals. For select Rising Stars, we can focus on custom choreography for auditions and competitions.
I am passionate about providing my students with the exceptional classical, Balanchine, and contemporary ballet training environment that shaped my own experience as a dancer. A dancer’s success begins with a genuine love of ballet and a willingness to embrace its demands. Advancement is nurtured by knowledgeable, caring teachers who motivate, inspire, and encourage creativity and is strengthened by a supportive and communicative family.
The benefits of ballet last a lifetime. Together, let’s take the first steps toward what’s possible.
