FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Am I right for this program?

We are welcoming dancers who are currently registered in a Collegiate dance program or young professionals who are Trainees or Second Company members who have aged out of traditional summer intensives and need a place to hone their craft on summer layoffs. The best way to determine your eligibility is to email us at info@artemotionballetschool.com.

What is the best option for accommodations?

We are thrilled to offer a housing option this year! Details will be announced soon! All classes will be held at Ballet West, and the performance will be a the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center. The two venues are precisely one block apart! We are certain our housing option will be the most cost effective, but space will be limited. Our accommodations will have kitchens and laundry! In the past dancers have booked AirBNB accommodations or hotels, there are many choices within a three block radius of the Ballet Centre. There is a public bus system called TRAX that is available and will easily get you around downtown, cheaply. If you are renting a car, parking is available at locations.

What are class sizes? Are you permitted to take other levels’ classes during the week?

We will cap all classes at 30 dancers. To ensure safety and to make sure dancers are getting the attention they deserve, you will not be able to take another level’s class for ballet, pointe, and variations classes. If you wish to take another level’s class for Jazz, Character, or Contemporary, you can make a request during the week by emailing info@artemotionballetschool.com. If there is room in the class, your request may be accommodated, but there are no guarantees.

Are private lessons available?

Yes! We will have a private lesson signup available and it will be sent out prior to the program.

Will PARTNERING classes continue?

Yes! We will have a PARTNERING lesson signup available and it will be sent out prior to the program. This addition to the program has been incredibly well received and can only be seen at artÉmotion!

Is parking available and how much should I expect to pay?

Parking downtown can range from $4.00 an hour on the street, to $40 a day in a parking garage.

When will the week’s official schedule be sent to participants?

You will receive your finalized schedule for the program, one week before the commencement.

What dance attire is required?

We encourage participants to wear what they feel most comfortable in, as long as they can move easily in it. If you are a full-day participant, you will need a black leotard and black skirt for the show. Pink or flesh-colored tights and shoes that match are also required for the show. Gentleman, please wear all black for performance, as well. We highly suggest all dancers have ballet flats for safety, not socks. Pointe classes are geared for all dancers, even those not en pointe, who can use it as an ankle-strengthening class. If you are coming with pointe shoes, we suggest two pairs (at least), one soft pair and one new pair. Jazz shoes are welcomed, but not required for jazz. Contemporary classes can be taken barefoot or in ballet shoes or toe socks. We are having Classical Character class this year! We highly recommend buying these shoes! Character Shoes

What is the refund policy?

All deposits are non-refundable and non-negotiable. All participants are required to pay the deposit to save their spot. On April 1st, 2026, all remaining balances will be charged automatically to the card on file in iClassPro unless we receive an email to info@artemotionballetschool.com with a DROP ENROLLMENT REQUEST. No refunds will be accommodated unless due to injury. In the case of injury, you will need to provide a valid doctor’s excuse for a refund to be considered. No refunds will be considered due to unforeseen illness but we will issue a credit for the following year.

What is the most effective way to get in contact with you?

Please email us! Calling and texts are available but we spend most of our day in the studio, and it’s hard to reply. Please use info@artemotionballetschool.com to direct all inquiries.

What is the weather going to be like in Salt Lake City?

Salt Lake City is a high desert. In May/June, the only thing we can guarantee is that it will be DRY! So, we encourage a lot of water and electrolytes. In terms of temperature, it is always unclear until the time. We suggest checking the weather right before you pack to come.

Where can I buy dance supplies in Salt Lake City if I need them?

Pat’s Dancewear will be ONSITE at the program! If they don’t have what you need, you can order it from them and they will deliver it to you! If interested or in need, you can schedule a pointe shoe fitting at Pat’s Dancewear. You can call ahead or schedule with them while they are onsite.

Here is the number to the store in Bountiful - 801-292-7287.

Are there great places to eat and unwind?

Yes! Salt Lake City is growing quickly, and there are many new restaurants and bars available to frequent. Details are in the Tour Packet all dancers will receive!
