Odyssey Dance TheatreSalt Lake City
Founded and directed by Derryl Yeager, former Ballet West Principal, Broadway, Television, and Film veteran, Odyssey Dance Theatre is comprised of 30 dancers proficient in all styles of dance. ODT explodes with world-class bravado, passionate charm, and choreographic invention, combining the classical virtues of ballet with the attack of jazz; the freedom of modern dance; the raw energy of hip-hop; the syncopated rhythms of tap; the fluid partnering of ballroom; and the spirit of Broadway and Vaudeville to create a fresh dance vocabulary and entertainment genre that engages audiences across the country and around the world. Many of the company’s dancers have received national and international acclaim on television programs such as “So You Think You Can Dance” and “Dancing With the Stars.” ODT performs 3 seasons a year in Salt Lake City as well as touring nationally and internationally, most notably in Beijing, coinciding with the 2008 Summer Olympics.
