Director’s Note
Dear Odyssey Patron,
We are so happy to be back after a year’s pause! There may not have been performances but we were busy with our Community Outreach Programs, granting dance scholarships to young dancers who showed promise but didn’t have the means to continue their training and providing dance classes
in schools that participate in the Salt Lake County Youth Services Afterschool Program. We have planned a full 30th Anniversary Season that will showcase the creativity, innovation, humor and talent that you have appreciated for the last three decades. We hope you will join us for all of our programs by buying season tickets. Go to www.odysseydance. com for more information. The Odyssey continues!! Thank you for your support and best wishes,

stage shows at Disneyland Resort, and singing and dancing in the Radio City Christmas Spectacular featuring the Rockettes.
