Why join the uds competitive company?

  • Rapid growth: Company dancers receive focused training to help them improve more quickly than recreational classes alone.

  • Build confidence: Gain confidence, leadership skills, and lasting friendships while creating strong connections with teammates and faculty.

  • Balanced commitment: With only 2 required group routines, a 3-day weekly commitment, and a 2-solo maximum, our program is designed to promote growth while preventing burnout. We whole-heartedly believe that there is a difference between working hard and over-working!

    • Core Team members must be in Level 2+.

      • Ballet
