 Play at The Salt Mine

 

BACKSTAGE PASS

When The Salt Mine first took shape, it was our haven, a place we could visit whenever the mood struck. We'd simply unlock the door, illuminate the space, choose our favorite tunes, and indulge in playtime. It felt like having access to our own secret clubhouse.

Now, we're thrilled to offer flexible rental options that grant you the same magical feeling. The BackStage Pass is your ticket to reliving that enchanting experience. With it, you gain entry an open dance floor, a room with 10 poles, access to aerial silks, lyras, hammocks, and customizable mood lighting to match your vibes. Whether you prefer weekly or monthly options, it's all here for you. And if you're visiting town for vacation, we've got your off-site studio, waiting just for you!

The Nitty-Gritty

To become a BackStage Pass Holder, all you need to do is complete an on-site tour and training session with one of our Owners. You'll learn the ins and outs of operating the equipment confidently. Additionally, you gain access to the entire Salt Mine calendar, allowing you to plan the perfect days and times for sneaking away to have fun.

The BackStage Pass is also a great way to get in extra rehearsal time for an upcoming showcase, or, if you enter a competition, use your BackStage Pass to run through your competition piece as many times as you need! You may even ask for feedback from other pass holders! The Salt Mine is your playground to do all the things.

“*The BackStage Pass is not intended to be private time - there may be other BackStage Pass holders and instructors in the space as well.  This is a fun way to build community and jam together.”

Caitlin Scheuer

Caitlin started her aerial hammock journey a little under a year and a half ago, and she instantly fell in love with it thanks to her wonderful teacher, Sarah. Caitlin started classes at the Salt Mine at her sister’s recommendation in order to reengage with movement after finishing grad school, and it was one of the best decisions she ever made. This is Caitlin’s first ever hammock performance, and she hopes you have the time of your life.

Ruff Haven Crisis Sheltering was founded in 2020 by four friends who met while volunteering at animal welfare organizations in Salt Lake County. After working closely with individuals experiencing homelessness and other crises, they recognized the urgent need for temporary pet sheltering in the community.
They believe the future of animal welfare lies in pet retention, keeping pets and their people together whenever possible.
The co-founders brought together a Board of Directors made up of passionate advocates from both animal and human welfare sectors. At Ruff Haven, we believe animal welfare is human welfare, and serving pets means serving people too.
