NEW COMPANY PROGRAM!

We are excited to announce our new Company program for this upcoming year. We have had a lot of you expressing interest in taking your dance training a little further.We will be offering 2-3 company teams for ages 8 and up. The younger groups will train 7-8 hours a week and the older would be 10-11 hours a week. This will allow for them to take ballet twice a week and a hip hop class. (There will be hip hop available to those who choose not to do companies.) I will not have the hours set until I see what our schedule will be. This will not mean more days of dance just longer hours in a day. Other requirements will be the following:
You must attend EPIC dance convention
Possible dance convention/competition or Nationals
2 ballet classes per week
4-5 routines
We will be having a meeting to determine all this once the teams are all placed.
cost per month would range from $145.00-$170.00 depending on the hours.

There will be a paper for you to fill out the day of tryouts. This will let us know that you are comfortable with committing to a Company if we feel that she is on the right skill level on the day of tryouts, or let us know that you are happy with the training and hours you have been getting. We do feel that the girls technique has been looking much better since we added that extra technique class last year. We are confident that whether you choose to do a company or stick with a team you will be satisfied and it will be another great year! If you want more information then please call Joni at 801-367-6494

MASTER CLASS WITH HEFA TUITA!!!!!

We are so excited to announce our Master class on Thursday June 14th. Age divisions and times to be announced at a later date. The cost will be $40.00 per girl to start out with. If we get enough girls to cover the cost then we can lower the price. Please sign up at the front desk with your payment and if the price changes we will credit your account.


If you are a fan of watching dance on tv, then you have seen Hefa Tuita perform. He’s danced on, “Dancing With The Stars”, “So You Think You Can Dance”, The Emmys, The Grammys, The American Music Awards, The VH1 Awards, The MTV Awards, Hefa was even featured in a Superbowl Commercial for Old Navy...
He’s danced with and for... some of the biggest names in the music business and he was born and raised in Spanish Fork, Utah!
Since a young boy, Hefa has been dancing and training in nearly every discipline of the art form, from hip hop, to ballroom both international and Latin, to jazz, contemporary and ballet, you name it. At the same time Hefa was also spending time playing sports like football, rugby and basketball, while also developing his musical skills on guitar, ukulele, piano and drums, singing and writing music.
At about age 14, Hefa began focusing on dance and was quickly cast as a featured dancer in "High School Musical 2". Shortly there after he joined the cast of the Nickelodeon TV series "Dance on Sunset" where Hefa was one of the “Nick 6”. The weekly show highlighted the "Nick 6" teaching their viewers the latest dance steps, breaking down the moves to help inspire young dancers. Choreographed by Tony Testa they also performed with guest musical guests Akon, Natasha Bedingfield, Miranda Cosgrove, Fall Out Boy, Fergie, Janet Jackson, Sean Kingston, Lil' Mama, Jesse McCartney, Menudo, Omarion, Panic! at the Disco and Ashlee Simpson.
Hefa then returned to dance once again for Kenny Ortega in the feature film, "High School Musical 3" and from there has gone on to continue his successful dance career performing on stage, television, music videos and on tour with Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Usher, Ne-Yo, Nicole Scherzinger to name a very few... and is currently the dance captain for Chris Brown.
His worked for some of the greatest choreographers of our time but he enjoys working most with Rich & Tone Talauega. They're like older brothers to him and share a lot of the same culture and background. They see a lot of themselves in Hefa since first meeting him on the set of Chris Brown’s “Transform You” music video. “I was like, Rich, we gotta keep him close to us says Tone, “It was like this is the one we’re gonna pass our knowledge and wisdom too” adds Rich.
Hefa’s greatest influence in his life are his parents Hefa Sr. and Karley, both former dancers, they have raised him to enjoy life and have fun with everything, dance to the fullest, and never lose his love and passion for it. They taught him he could do anything and this is something Hefa continues to pass on to his younger brothers Soa and Niua.
