Salt Contemporary Dance celebrates progression and upward evolution in dance.  We showcase emerging voices in contemporary dance by engaging rising choreographers from around the world to create original works with a company of classically trained, artistically versatile dancers.  We share this innovative work through concerts, master classes, festivals and workshops to elevate the cultural vibrancy and diversity of our community.

 

The resumes of our company members include time spent performing with Northwest Dance Project, Odyssey Dance Theater, San Francisco Conservatory of Dance, Oakland Ballet, and Utah Regional Ballet. Company members have studied dance at University of Utah, Utah Valley University, Brigham Young University, and University of Arizona.

 

SALT Contemporary Dance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
