Ballet West Leaders Featured in Elle Magazine
Artistic Director Adam Sklute and Park City Academy Principal Allison DeBona share Ballet West's approach to supporting dancer families in this important Elle Magazine feature.
"Dancers are advocating for comprehensive change. Among them is Allison DeBona, owner and artistic director of artÉmotion ballet school and principal of the Ballet West Academy Peggy Bergmann Park City campus. DeBona was a first soloist at Ballet West and is the parent of two children. She acknowledges that she and her husband, former principal dancer Rex Tilton, had an “amazing boss” who wanted to work with dancers to ensure the environment met their needs. She didn’t feel like she had an aggressive timeline from the company to come back after giving birth, but was driven in part by wanting to reach professional goals."
