Ballet West is committed to nurturing diverse young talent in Park City through the renowned Frederick Quinney Lawson Ballet West Academy's Peggy Bergmann Campus.  Each year, Ballet West offers tens of thousands of dollars in merit-based and need-based scholarships for students throughout Summit County. In addition, The Solomon Fund, through the Park City Community Foundation, offers need-based tuition support for low-income Latinx students.  

By supporting Ballet West, you are providing young Park City dancers of all backgrounds with access to the highest caliber of ballet instruction.

"I'm deeply passionate and committed to ensuring equal opportunity for ALL Park City students through recreation and sport. This is why The Solomon Fund supports Ballet West Academy scholarship opportunities for Latinx students.”
