Cedar City Arts Council Updates

 Thanks to our Summer Social Presenters Aja Madsen has been a dancer for a lifetime– true love lasts forever. She started in BYU's Young Dancemaker program and kept going until she graduated with a dance degree from Brigham Young University. Then wanderlust took her to New York City where she had many awesome dance experiences. She is happy to call Cedar City home and has enjoyed teaching ballet and creative dance at Little Leap Frogs studio right here in the Johnson Center.
