Repertory Dance Theatre's education programs increase critical thinking and nonverbal reasoning skills, develop the ability to communicate as part of a group, encourage groups to work collaboratively, improve individual kinesthetic and spatial learning, as well as intra- and interpersonal knowledge of self and others. RDT’s nationally recognized and lauded Arts In Education (AIE) programs offers students and teachers across Utah much more than exercise or entertainment.


Repertory Dance Theatre is dedicated to the creation, performance, perpetuation, and appreciation of modern dance. Whether welcoming the community—physically or digitally—to our home at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center in Salt Lake City or traveling to urban and rural locations around Utah, RDT builds community wherever we go; celebrating mutual and singular histories, aspirations, and experiences through performances, workshops, classes, and community- and school-based residencies.
RDT uses dance as a way to
help people become more:
Explore and experience how describing words can change how a movement can look and feel.
Using creativity to design and explore three simple frozen shapes.
In this lesson designed for kindergarteners, students explore geometric shapes and how their bodies move through motion activity.
Students will explore the life cycle of Wilson's Phalarope, a bird that lives at the Great Salt Lake.
