Ballet archives photograph collection
Collection
Identifier: P0247
Scope and Contents
This collection was originally named for Ballet West founder Willam F. Christensen, as the bulk of the photos were of the various companies he danced with and the dance classes he taught at the University of Utah. With the addition of a large photo collection from Ballet West, the collection was renamed the Ballet Archives. In addition to the Christensen photographs, there are prints and slides of Ballet West dancers, rehearsals and productions.
