Dancing at the Apollo


My good friend and her husband used to go country dancing every Thursday at the Apollo and would invite us to go. We never got around to going and now they don't have country dancing here anymore. Sad.

I have only been inside once, and it is a really neat old place, with theater seats mounted to the floors on the sides of the dance floor and a stage at the front. We attended a Sparkly Pals benefit program for Parker and we LOVED it. The dancers were so talented and charming and we left feeling fantastic!

The Apollo is a great place to go and dance. The floor is giant and there is plenty of room for anybody and everybody...that is if it is anywhere near the same as it was when I was little. I haven't been there in years, but the floor is bigger than big enough. I made many good and some scary memories there. It was basically a home away from home for me since my family was very close to the owners. I'm thrilled that it's being used again.

I love the Apollo! I had my wedding there this year. They've done tons of work to it. Did you guys know the entire floor is suspended on springs?! It's crazy. They have a website now www.TheApolloUtah.com

The Apollo is open again! We named it Apollo 8 (after our 8 children) It still has the SPRING LOADED huge 7000 sq foot dance floor. The reception area has been revamped, and there is now a 3 tiered stage. The building is amazing, with the tabernacle design of the ceiling, makes the acoustics awesome. We have new lighting in the building, which makes you awe at the vision at night. Come Check it out, we have opened a swap meet/boutique on Saturdays to tell everyone the Apollo is open again. It is available for rent and High School and Mid-Singles dances are starting soon! www.apollo8dance.com
