MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD

The Utah Dance Education Organization's Twelveth Annual Spring Conference will focus on the skills that dancers have and how they can impact dancers and non-dancers alike.

UDEO will present Mary Ann Lee with the 2012 UDEO Lifetime Achievement Award to honor her many achievements. Mary Ann assumed artistic direction of the University of Utah Tanner Dance Program in 1979 after the passing of founder Virginia Tanner. Since that time, she has worked diligently to infuse dance and beauty into the lives of countless Utahns. Conference attendees will experience a movement session with Mary Ann, entitled "Gratitude", followed by the presentation of the award.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Dancers, educators in private studios and school settings, inter-disciplinary artists, PTA members, choreographers, presenters, collaborative artists, administrators, advocates, and anyone interested in networking, professional development, advocacy and promoting the art form of dance as an essential educational component of life-long learning.
