Eric Dodge, a country vocalist, visited Canyon Elementary this week, and focused his comments on being kind to others, and not bullying.

Ballet West comes to Canyon

Submitted by andria.lewis on Fri, 01/09/2015 - 10:33

Canyon students (3rd-6th grades) got the opportunity to watch Ballet West, a professional dance company in Salt Lake, perform right here at our school!

The professionals talked about many things about ballet, and some student even went up  up and learned  moves from some of the pros!

Ballet West then performed beautiful scenes from The Nutcracker, in full costume!

The kids loved it, and learned a little about an art that they might not have known a lot about.

Thanks Ballet West!
