Dance with the Best
We are excited to announce our 2019-20 class schedule is now available! Registrations are now open as well. You can view the full class schedule here and register for classes online here or by calling us at 970-472-4156. Thank you and happy dancing!
We are so excited for the upcoming intensives and for your dancer to learn from our amazing guests and teachers. This email is to inform you about what your dancer can expect and will need for the intensives. On the first day of the intensive (Monday 6/10 or Monday 6/17) the school will open at 8:30am. You will then receive your goodie bag that will have your schedule, shirt and other fun goodies. That first day your dancer will also be placed at a level for the week. For those who are current CCB students, your current level will be used to place you for the week. If you are new to CCB you will be placed at a level for the day based on your age and experience- at the end of the day students will be assessed to ensure they are at a level that will be both fun and challenging for them.
Level 1: 3 years of training. Generally ages 9-12 – 9:00-2:30pm

Get to know teacher Ms Haley better!
Haley Westmoreland discovered her passion for dance at the age of 12 when she began training on competitive teams at Airborne Dance and later at Dance Dimensions in her hometown of Longmont, Colorado. She has a strong foundation in tap, ballet, jazz and hip hop. Haley is a current undergrad student at Colorado State University majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies and minoring in Anthropology and Entrepreneurship/Innovation. Haley recently completing a RYT-200 yoga training in Chiang Mai, Thailand which transformed her practice and ultimately brought her back home to dance. Through her dance training and yoga practice, Haley now crafts her movement through intentionality and mindfulness.
Ms Haley teaches Tap on Tuesdays at 6:00pm, Jazz 1 on Wednesdays at 4:30pm, and Jazz 2 on Wednesdays at 5:45pm.
Here are some fun questions we asked Ms Haley to get to know her a little better:
My favorite movie is Mr. Nobody. My favorite book is Dastgah: Diary of a Headtrip by Mark Mordue.
I would rather vacation in Alaska because there is so much natural beauty and untouched land. I would also love to see the northern lights.
If I was deserted on an island I would take my journal, my backpack and my best friend.
My favorite part about CCB is my students! We get to learn so much from each other and grow together as dancers and people.
This year we are presenting the Spring Showcase as a story: A Night at The Museum, which will be an exciting heist story. CCB’s Youth Ensemble will try to stop the robbery of the Royal Jewels. During the showcase each class will portray a fun and lively work of art from the museum! These performances give dancers the opportunity to showcase what they’ve learned throughout the year. Join us in celebrating how far our dancers have come and celebrate their achievements!

Canyon Concert Ballet has Contemporary 1 classes, taught by Ms Cassie and Ms Alta. Learn more about this fun dance class!
What is Contemporary? Contemporary dance is a fluid dance style that blends ballet and jazz dance. A contemporary dancer uses movement to express strong emotions such as love, joy and anger, and usually perform to music with lyrics…the lyrics of the chosen song serve as inspiration for movements and expressions. Music may consist of many genres including pop, rock and hip hop. Movements in contemporary dance are characterized by fluidity and grace, with the dancer flowing seamlessly from one move to another, holding finishing steps as long as possible. Leaps are exceptionally high and soaring, and turns are graceful and continuous.
Class Description: This class is designed to introduce the young dancer to Contemporary Technique. Contemporary is a term to describe a broad and ever changing style of dance that draws from Ballet, Modern and Jazz Techniques. Ages 7+
Ms Cassie: I want people to know that this is a very inclusive class no matter what the students dance background is and we would love to have you!
Contemporary 1 happens Wednesdays at 5:30pm with Ms Alta at the Conifer Studio and Thursdays at 4:30pm at our with Ms Cassie at our Harmony Studio. Register for Contemporary 1 class today!
