Throughout the year the various classes and programs have performances to showcase their hard work. We invite you to attend and show your support. Below is a list of upcoming Tanner Dance events.
Children's Dance Theatre Spring Concert
"Invention"
The University of Utah Children's Dance Theatre presents: INVENTION
If you could travel to any moment in history, where would you go?
A young inventor named Emma has created the world's only fully functional time-travel wristwatch. She seizes the opportunity to visit the workshops and labs of her childhood heroes: Leonardo da Vinci, Marie Curie, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell... But time travel can be dangerous. Despite her care to avoid disturbing the past, Emma soon discovers that dozens of inventions are somehow disappearing from history. Now it's up to her to find out where the past went wrong.
Come join the Children's Dance Theatre at the Janet Quinney Lawson Capitol Theatre for a lighthearted celebration of the spirit of ingenuity, brought to the stage through inventive dance, costumes and music.
Performances:
School matinees April 2 & 3. Schools/teachers, please contact Amy Buchanan if you are interested in having your class(es) attend these free performances.

Spring Studio Concert
Each May our studio classes perform an end of the year performance at Kingsbury Hall. More information about this concert will be posted in April 2020
Tipping Point Dance Company Showcase
Each May, our Contemporary Companies (Tipping Point Dance Company, Momentum Dance Company, and In Motion Dance Company) present a concert in our black box theatre. Look for more information about this performance in April 2020.
Momentum Showcase
Momentum Showcase
Each fall, the Tanner Dance Contemporary Companies presents the Momentum Showcase. This performance provides a peek into how dancers choreograph movement and what they learn from engaging in the creative process. Students in Momentum, Tipping Point, and In Motion will share original compositional ideas based on a yearly theme, and explain the artistic and collaborative processes they have used to build their own choreography. Please check back in September 2020 for more information about the Momentum Showcase.
Ring Around the Rose
Ring Around the Rose
Each November, several of our Tanner Dance classes perform as part of the Ring Around the Rose series at the Rose Wagner Theatre in downtown Salt Lake City.
RDT’s Ring Around the Rose is a “wiggle-friendly” performance series for children and families that explores the magical world of the arts, including dance, theatre, music and storytelling.
