Ballet West is preparing to celebrate a milestone — its 60th season.
SALT LAKE CITY —
The brothers became Vaudeville performers and then founded the Portland Ballet, the San Francisco Ballet and Ballet West. Tom Michel, vice president of development and marketing for Ballet West in 2016, underscored the importance of the Christensen Academy in Brigham City. He told KSL's Carole Mikita in 1988, "It was sold out! We hadn't even opened yet, so we added another matinee and that was sold out!"
The competitive, exhausting, body-pushing side of the ballet took center stage in a 2012 BBC Worldwide production called "Breaking Point.""They really wanted to set the record straight about ballet and ballet in America, what a dancer's life was like, what being a professional ballet company was like," Sklute said."Most people don't really understand what it means to be a ballet dancer. They don't understand that it's our full-time job.
