This is the twelfth year of performing “Thriller” and it has been a crowd favorite. They are performing some classic favorites and also whipping out some new captivating creations. Not only is this show heavily looked forward to in this community every year, but all around the state. Odyssey has won many state-wide awards which include Best of State in dance for four years running and Best of State in all of the Arts and Entertainment in 2007.

The founder and the director of Odyssey, Darryl Yeager, has been a major driving talent behind the many successes of the studio. He won Best Choreographer this year.

Now in it’s twelfth year, it has grown tremendously in popularity, and we are busy performing the show throughout the year.”

Governor Gary Herbert celebrated this success by naming August 20th Brandon Bryant Day in Utah. “Odyssey Dance Theatre has been an important and viable part of the arts and culture of the great state of Utah for the past 15 years,” said Governor Herbert.
