Tanner Dance Office Hours
Beginning the week of August 24, our office hours will be Monday – Thursday from 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM, and Friday 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM.
Our office staff is working hard to ensure a safe and enjoyable dance experience for all our students and faculty. In order to properly sanitize the studios and monitor dancers’ safety, we may need to occasionally step away from the phones. As we navigate through COVID, we ask that you please be patient as our response time may be slower than usual. Thank you!
Free Demonstration Class
Tanner Dance announces a special opportunity for four-year-olds to dance with Mary Ann Lee in a free demonstration class as part of a University of Utah School of Dance course on dance pedagogy. The class meets Tuesday mornings from 8:30-9:15 AM on August 25, September 1, 8, 15 and 22 at Tanner Dance.
Dancers must wear a mask and follow the health and safety protocols for Tanner Dance. University students who observe the class will also follow safety protocols as will Mary Ann and the studio musician, Brent Fotheringham. The class is limited to 12 students. Mary Ann will schedule a time to meet the students before the class begins in an outside setting so that parents, children, and Mary Ann can meet in person.

Reminder: Parking Policies 2020-2021
For the 2020-2021 year, we are asking that all dancers be dropped off and picked up.
At this time, parents will not be allowed to park in the Tanner lot, with the exceptions of: parents attending a Parent-Tot class, parent volunteers helping with COVID safety, and teen dancers who are old enough to drive themselves to class. Parking passes can be purchased beginning Monday, August 24 at the Tanner Dance office for $7 per month. Please bring exact change.
Due to our limited number of parking spots, even if a Tanner lot pass has been purchased, Tanner Dance cannot guarantee that there will be open spots during your class time. Please seek out other visitor parking options on campus if the Tanner Dance lot is full. Parking in the west or east circles is not permitted, unless you are a high school dancer driving yourself and the Tanner lot is full.
University Commuter Services is no longer allowing Tanner Dance patrons to park in the central garage.
Parking areas are designated by signs specifying the type of parking allowed and the hours of enforcement. Unless otherwise stated, permit lots are enforced year round, from 7:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Saturday parking near the studio is usually plentiful and free, with some exceptions for sporting or other large campus events.
Parking regulations are enforced year-round, including during breaks and between semesters. Permit areas and meters are not regulated on state holidays. Fire lanes, restricted areas, designated reserved and disabled spaces are enforced 24 hours every day of the year. Violators will be ticketed. For more information, call Commuter Services at 801-581-6415 or visit the website at www.parking.utah.edu.
Reminder: Concert Boutique Orders
If you ordered flowers, photos, or a dancer congratulations message for the Invention concert last spring, we will be refunding those items. Please give our office 2-3 weeks to process your refund.
If you ordered an Invention concert t-shirt or a charm, the office will be distributing those to dancers once our fall session gets underway. We will notify you when these items are ready for pick up
