AED began in January 1994 in Draper, Utah. With 30 students, Anne Weichers and Cindy Peterson began a journey of sharing their love of dance with the children of the community. Sixteen years later, AED has grown to over 400 students and a staff of over 15 wonderful teachers from around the valley.
We are so proud that Ballet West Dancers choose to teach at AED. They have been such an asset to our program and we appreciate all they do for the students.
At AED, we teach to love the art form as well as build the technical aspect of the dancer. We feel through building dancers self confidience through movement, it will also build self-esteem and self confidience in other areas of their lives.
AED offers competitive and non competitive programs, both are excellent ways to build your dance technique. We feel having two programs will give you the choice of the time commitment you are able to give to your child's dance instruction.
In our competitive program, we feel that we prepare the dancers for high school programs and collegiate scholarship tryouts. First place trophies are great...but building a technical dancer is our number one priority.
Former Dancers from AED have gone on to be dance teachers, coaches, performers, choreographers in LA for top recording artists. We are so proud of their accomplishments. Dancers from AED have also gone on to be lawyers, accountants, school teachers, and mothers.....we are so proud of their accomplishments as well. AED is a home for every dancer regardless of their goal in the art form.
We are very confident in our dance program and offer a free first lesson to all new students. We know your child will have an enjoyable time and you will be more than satisfied with their training.
Please feel free to contact our office manager Charae for more information.
Build your dance technique in a fun, professional environment!
