Ballet West Academy — the official school of Ballet West — runs week-long summer dance camps for ages 3–14 at its Utah County (Pleasant Grove) campus, with themed dancing, crafts, and story time and no experience or audition required. Each week concludes with a Friday performance, and older campers can pursue concentrated ballet study.

★★AshleyThe website says there are no performance or costume fees (yay!). What they DON'T tell you until it's time for recital, is that tickets to attend the recital are $20 per person. And they told me "well attending the performance isn't necessary" --- so they are just taking advantage of parents who want to show support for their kids. Shame on them. At LEAST mention this on your website at registration so families aren't blindsided! The teachers are great, and that is the only reason I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1.
★★★★★Lillian HarndenMy daughter just started her second year at Ballet West. She was so happy to be back, she hugged their front door! The best part for her though was finding out she got the same teacher as last year again, Miss Ivy Drumm. I've visited lots of local dance studios before selecting BW, and chose them because they have good ballet discipline. At other studios, I was shocked to see how much of class time was spent standing or sitting around. At BW, they dance the whole time.
★★★★★Frederick AxelgardI cannot say enough great things about this campus of Ballet West Academy. We have entrusted them with a part of our girls' overall education and they have not disappointed. Heather Thackeray is simply amazing and we appreciate her and her staff so much. If you want the best for your kids' ballet, there is absolutely no consideration for anywhere else. We love this place.
★★★★★Alicia McCoyWe’ve been with several dance studios and chose this year to cut out one while staying with Ballet West. We love the professionalism while still making classical ballet fun for our young daughter. She has loved all of her teachers! No hidden fees; very reasonable from a financial perspective. And ample opportunity to perform.
★★★★★Tsunami MomI cannot recommend Ballet West Academy Utah County enough. My 10 year old daughter has been dancing since she was three, we moved to Ballet West Utah County in 2021 when she was 8, I cannot believe how much she has improved in her skills, I have yet to meet a teacher that wasn’t kind and skilled at bringing out the best in her. We loved it so much both of my sons also take lessons now and they love going to class. I truly believe they are getting the best dance education they could possibly get. Thank you Ms. Heather, all of her staff, and the people at Ballet West Academy headquarters for making such a wonderful, inspiring, and inviting place for my children to grow up.
