They are a very talented group of young dancers hoping to make a difference in the lives of others. Recently, the West Jordan High School Dance Company had the opportunity to attend a “Dance for Life” event at the Capitol Theatre in downtown Salt Lake City. “Dance for Life” is a nonprofit organization working to bring awareness to suicide prevention. They also work to eliminate the negative stigma surrounding mental health struggles.
While at the Capitol Theater, West Jordan’s Dance Company was able to take a master jazz dance class from Elliana Walmsley of “Dance Moms.” They also performed with illustrious dance companies at the Dance for Life Suicide Prevention Gala.
You can see the West Jordan Dance Company yourself at their next community performance. That will be in Express Dance Company’s Halloween show, “Panic!” at the Mid-Valley Performing Arts Center on October 8, at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at: https://www.saltlakecountyarts.org/events/
