Lifehouse Performing Arts Academy 669 North 250 East, Salem, UT 84653

"Buyer beware you will be paying for an elite level activity but getting a recreation level outcome. The owners mindset is very liberal where she states that everyone should be on the same level (everyone gets a medal). Dancers stay at the same level even if they progress beyond initial dance company placement and uncommitted dancers that do not progress get to stay at the same level, no consequences for a lack of commitment as well as not performing at the expense of every other person in the dance company It’s gets even better when it comes to performance season, last minute changes to rehearsal schedules and 6 days a week at the studio and performance locations where your dancer sits for hours with limited participation in the run through of the final performance until anywhere from 9-11pm for the oldest and youngest students."

"My daughter has been dancing at this studio for 10 years. The eight core values and training philosophy of the Lifehouse have created a solid foundation for my daughter in dance and in everyday life. Instructors at this studio are extremely high quality. The annual inspirational firesides, breathtakingly beautiful ballet productions, delightfully spectacular productions and wonderful end-of-year shows edifies the lives of those who participate and those who are in the audience. Throughout the years I have felt like this studio is a piece of heaven on earth. I believe the director, Nesha Woodhouse, has been truly inspired in the creation of and the ongoing directing of the studio. My daughter is working on going out of her comfort zone, not compare herself to others, taking and keeping corrections, and so much more. She is building a strong character, while learning to dance through the good influence of the Lifehouse. This dance studio is a wonderful fit for her. My husband and I feel lucky to have our daughter dancing here."

"Not just dance but positive self image and worth is part of the environment. Rigorous, fun and uplifting classes. My daughter has been un company classes for 2 years and absolutely love it. So do I as a parent. Wonderful wholesome shows and costumes!"

"Such a wonderful school! My 3 yr old daughter loves her ballet class with Miss Annie!! The front desk is always helpful and friendly which is a definite bonus. The performance they did was phenomenal. I felt like I was at a professional performance!! Very pleased with this school."

"It was a little pricey, but well worth every penny! My daughter took the combo class ballet/tap and loved every minute of it. The teachers are fun and engaging, the classes are a bit longer so I felt like my daughter was able to really learn the dances without feeling rushed. The performance of the Nutcracker that she was part of was done so beautifully. I would definitely check this place out if you have a dancer looking for a place to learn and grow."
