Heber Valley Ballet: a stage for the Wasatch Back’s young dancers.

Open to dancers ages 12 and up who are training on pointe.
About the company
Part of Primary Ballet Academy
The 2026–2027 season marks the inaugural year of Heber Valley Ballet. The company grows out of Primary Ballet Academy, a ballet school on Main Street in Heber, Utah, directed by Erin Malan (MFA in Ballet Teaching & Choreography).
Primary Ballet focuses on performance rather than team competitions. Heber Valley Ballet takes that further, with rehearsals outside regular class time, guest choreographers, and roles in full-length story ballets.
What company members get
More training. More stage time. More growth.
Professional habits
Rehearsals outside regular class build discipline and consistency. Dancers work with guest choreographers and a wider range of repertoire, including contemporary ballet.
Mentorship
A goal-setting program with regular one-on-one director meetings, and insight into collegiate and professional paths for dancers considering ballet after high school.
2026–2027 season
Three productions in the first season
Primary Ballet and Heber Valley Ballet present a full season of performances in Heber.
The Nutcracker
The first-ever full-length Nutcracker from Primary Ballet and Heber Valley Ballet. Casting is open to dancers ages 6 and up by audition.
Repertory Show
A late-winter Repertory show featuring Heber Valley Ballet company members.
Cinderella
A full-length story ballet. All Primary Ballet students are invited to take part. Performance dates will be announced.
