Elites Program
Elites Performance Team
UDA ELITES is a performance team for UDA dancers who will be in the 7th – 12th grades. Dancers are considered by invitation. Those interested should have a minimum of 3 years of technical dance training. Using the community as their stage, dancers have the opportunity to perform and grow artistically in the genres of ballet, jazz, hip hop, musical theater and contemporary, in a non-competitive environment. Through participation, ELITES dancers cultivate important life skills in the areas of respect, responsibility and accountability to self and others as a contributing dance team member.
The ELITES Team is a cultivation of dancers of a similar level and style. Dancers receive an invitation to register from the director after Spring evaluations at UDA.
A minimum of 8 dancers are required to create an ELITES Team.
ELITES Introductory Competitive Program
The ELITES Competitive Program is an optional, add-on program for dancers in 7th – 12th grades who wish to compete in genres such as jazz, musical theater, lyrical jazz or contemporary and intensify their performance study with additional experience on stage through a competition environment. Participating dancers are grouped according to ability level with age consideration, as opposed to being grouped by team participation.
