Ballet West brings culture to Utah plains and plains to stage
Ballet West, based in Salt Lake City, has toured from Laredo to Hayden and performed in Reno, with artistic director William F. Christensen shaping the troupe. The 38 full-time dancers rehearse intensely, earn modest salaries, and face financial hurdles as they expand from Utah into international venues like Greece and Yugoslavia, while balancing tradition and controversy in Salt Lake City.
