A number of Utah dancers won top honors at the Youth American Grand Prix 2008 regional ballet competition in Denver last weekend. Tyler Burkett, 18, a freshman in the University of Utah Ballet Department, who also trained at the Ballet West Academy, won the overall Grand Prix and was named in the Top 12. Burkett danced a variation from "The Nutcracker" and a contemporary work choreographed by U. ballet department senior Christopher Peddecord. Peddecord, 24, was given the Outstanding Choreographers Award during the competition. The two will head to the finals in New York in April.
