COVID-19 Coronavirus Updates
Be supportive.  Be positive.  And above all else, be kind.

Desert Journey School of Dance is currently Mask Optional.  Thank you all for your continued support and perseverance in wearing masks to keep everyone safe during the pandemic.  The State has ended the Mask Mandate and ended the State of Emergency throughout the state.  In turn, Salt Lake City mask mandate ends.  You are still encouraged to wear masks when in large groups or when physical distancing cannot be maintained.  Stay home if you have any signs of sickness–we want all dancers to stay healthy and even sharing a cold or flu is no fun. Thank you for supporting Desert Journey through this pandemic!  We could not have done it without you!  (Seriously.)

WHY BELLY DANCE?

Belly dance builds not only the physical abilities to dance, it also grows confidence, self-love, and increased self-esteem, while encouraging each of us to have love and gratitude for the body we live in and dance.

Desert Journey is a dance family!  We encourage each other to press forward and grow in ways we didn’t think were possible.  Here you will find friends and acceptance on your own personal journey.

Dancer Reviews

I have joined this amazing school almost a year ago! It has been a pleasant journey. I used to be a part of academy of performing arts, unfortunately is no longer an academy. I have been out of belly dancing for 7 years! And I found this school through a friend. Everyone is so friendly, I feel confident to ask questions. I also love that I can be on stage again! Thank you for having such a positive role in my life! I can’t wait to make more memories! The best part is we always have get together with everyone at Desert Journey, we have become family.

Everyone is so accepting no matter who you are or your background. I have so many memories with everyone at the school. If you think you can’t dance, I am the biggest tomboy ever and if I can do it you can do it.
