Wasatch Contemporary Dance Company
The Wasatch Contemporary Dance Company is a nonprofit organization and professional performance company in Provo, UT with roots going back to March 2010. Our mission is to invite you in, encourage reflection, and stir you to action. We are building a creative and compassionate community through dance.
Company members are required to attend technique classes on Tuesday evenings (8:30-10 PM) and Friday mornings (9-10:30 AM) and attend 2-4 rehearsals per week. Rehearsals are typically held weekday mornings and evenings and some weekends. Sometimes several rehearsals can be held back to back. Dancers are also required to help in fundraising, teaching, and other company responsibilities. Dancers receive payment for teaching (varies per job) as well as a performance stipend ($85/dance) paid shortly after the performance, plus 1% of ticket sales.

Wasatch II
Wasatch II is designed to serve two important functions:
1. Provide performance opportunities for more adult dancers in Utah County, with lower commitment hours for those who still want to continue performing but cannot commit to a full company load
2. Create a space where dancers can improve their technical and artistic skills and familiarize themselves with the WCDC style
Wasatch II dancers take technique class on Tuesday nights (8:30 -10 PM) and attend rehearsals 1-2 additional days per week. Friday morning technique classes are available to Wasatch II members but not required. Wasatch II dancers don’t pay any tuition but are required to help with committee responsibilities alongside WCDC members.
