Kids ages 5+ can dance their way through summer with this one-hour breakdance workshop from the School of Dance. No dance experience necessary. Wear comfortable clothes that make you want to move!
Breaking is a dance done to the drum break of the music. It is a freestyle and expressive dance that teaches discipline, strength and courage. A lot of the movement is done using hands and feet on the ground by balancing and spinning. Breaking is for everyone, but in having this style here at the school of dance we have seen that it really helps the creative explore, active have fun, and shy gain confidence. Breaking gives everyone courage to do things that they once thought were impossible and is all about community and culture

The Glendale Branch of the Salt Lake City Public Library system, designed by Architectural Nexus and opened in February of 2015, offers approximately 20,000 square feet of space, making it the largest City Library branch. The branch houses 40,000 circulating materials, public computers, a lounge area, a green screen room, and a grand piano donated through the Mundi Project.
The floor plan of the branch offers open views across the building while creating designated spaces for children's, teen, and adult Library collections. An enclosed activity room easily accommodates various Library programming, and a designated teen space offers a place for young adults to gather, study, and access Library resources and services.
Built with the Glendale neighborhood in mind, the building shape includes a curved form that reaches out and embraces the community while creating an outdoor plaza. Special colored concrete and landscaped designs represent the geographic area along the Jordan River, while the design scheme of interior signage incorporates colors and forms that represent the many ethnic backgrounds of Glendale neighborhood residents.
The branch is easily accessible to area students, being located just one block from Glendale Middle School, Mountain View Elementary School, and the Salt Lake City School District's Community Learning Center.
The diversity of building materials, finishes, and colors of the Glendale Branch reflect the diversity of the Glendale neighborhood, which is one of the most diverse communities in Salt Lake City.
