They don't keep accurate schedules (we've shown up multiple time only to find out the class times had changed). They don't bill timely or correctly.

We have seen it bring confidence, self-satisfaction, and creativity to children's lives. We believe in a kind, yet disciplined approach to classical ballet for dancers of all ages and skill levels. Young students learn the positions and French terms in classes with a "Princess" theme while older students gain the technique in a traditional format that provides a clear understanding of the necessary fundamentals of ballet and life: discipline, dedication and passion. ALL students perform in our annual classic ballet presentation. The repertoire rotates between Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Coppelia and an original ballet, Over the Rainbow based on The Wizard of Oz." Performing the classics provides an opportunity for a student to "build their classical resume" from day one. Students also get to learn variations from the "Nutcracker" and perform it in costume in class presentations each December. Ballet is our main focus and provides a strong foundation for students in our Contemporary, Jazz and Ballroom classes. Graduating seniors choreograph original works which set them apart as they pursue college programs. Each year many of the graduating seniors consistently receive dance scholarships in Ballet and/or Contemporary at UVU, U of U, BYU, or SUU.

My daughter and I visited Thanksgiving Point, and we had such an amazing time! We were there for…read morealmost four hours and still didn't get to see everything they have to offer. There is SO much to do! We started with the Butterfly Biosphere. Since it was our first time there, I had no idea where to start, but the people at the front desk were so helpful and answered all of my questions. We ended up getting the all access pass and headed in. They told us about the scavenger hunt, which my daughter absolutely loved. We had to find all the hidden cars throughout the bug enclosures, and she was so excited when she found them all and got to pick out a butterfly sticker! Next, we went to the Mountain America Jurassic Jungle, and this was so much fun. There were tons of interactive activities for my daughter, plus a huge play area with slides and mazes. It was definitely fun for kids AND adults, somehow I even ended up going down the biggest slide! Then we went to the Museum of Natural Curiosity, which was my daughter's favorite. She put on her own magic show and puppet show, climbed through even more mazes and slides, jumped as high as she could like a bug, hung like a sloth, and even danced the Macarena! There was so much to explore and so many things for her to actually do instead of just look at. We finished our visit with a ride on the carousel, and by that point, we were completely exhausted. We had such a great time and definitely didn't get to see everything, so we will absolutely be back. Thanksgiving Point is a great place to spend the day, especially if you have kids who love to explore, play, and stay busy. Highly recommend!

This review is purely for the Loggia wedding venue, so take it with a grain of salt. I'm sure the…read morerest of Thanksgiving Point is, from what I could tell from walking through it, an incredible place. The Loggia, however, while itself is a fantastic wedding venue, it is staffed by unfathomably incompetent employees. Here are just a handful of the most egregious offenses we suffered (mind you, as guests) at the hands of these clueless [redacted]s: * Upon arriving at the garden gazebo (utterly devoid of people), a half hour before the ceremony, we were greeted by (one of) the wedding planner(s?). When we inquired where everyone was, she didn't know. We asked if the ceremony was being at this garden gazebo, to which she replied something to the effect of "maybe, or one of the other ones". First off, there are no other ones. There was the waterfall area, where the reception was to be held later, but wh didn't she know that? Why did she have no clue whatsoever what was going on? * The ceremony was supposed to begin at 4:00 PM; by 5:00, the planners had gotten their shit together, things started happening. * Two employees, loudly chatting and pushing a large dumpster, just on the other side of a wall of trees (partially visible, and entirely audible), just as the couple were reciting their vows. Complete lack of spatial awareness! * Ceremony ended around 5:30; time to transition to the reception area, by the waterfall. The food, which should have been prepared prior to, or during the ceremony, didn't arrive until after 7:00 PM, leaving everyone hungry and anxious for nearly two hours. * The food was arranged buffet-style, on a single table (should have been at least two), and guests were allowed to serve themselves (save for the prime rib, which was carved sparingly by a single person), while no less that four (and sometimes as many as SIX) venue staff stood behind the table, arms behind their back, doing absolutely nothing. I cannot for a single second fathom what their purpose was, other than to collect a paycheck, and allow the venue to jack up the price of the event. * Complete mismanagement of the quantity of food provided for the agreed upon number of guests; some of the last guests were underserved as a result. * The venue manager attempting to charge the bridal party an extra fee because the cake vendor arrived earlier than expected...because somehow sticking a cake in the fridge for a couple extra hours is a hassle worth stressing out the couple, and shaking them down for a few extra bucks. * The wedding planner bringing out the cake immediately after the ceremony, in 95° heat, which means it would have sat there for 3 hours, before it was time for it to be served. Fortunately, the mother of the bride noticed and told her to put it back in the fridge, so it wouldn't melt. * The venue charged $300 for lemonade service. You read that right: lemonade. * Oh, and of course, the married couple could not choose to use outside vendors or caterers for anything, leaving them at the mercy of these ridiculous hucksters. Five star venue, with one star service and value for your money. If you've got money to burn and nothing to lose, yeah, this place is probably great, if you can stomach watching them piss away your hard-earned cash with almost nothing to show for it. At least it's pretty here.
