Elites Performance Team

UDA ELITES is a performance team for UDA dancers who will be in the 7th – 12th grades in 2022-2023. 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. Dancers new to UDA, will have the opportunity to attend a master class Saturday, June 4, 2022 at the South Jordan studio from 12:00-1:30pm which will allow the director to evaluate new dancers and their training.

A minimum of 8 dancers are required to create an ELITES Team.
