STARS Program
STARS Performance Team
The STARS Performance Program is for UDA dancers in Kindergarten – 6th grade. Using the community as their stage, dancers have the opportunity to perform and grow artistically in the genres of ballet and jazz, in a non-competitive environment. Through participation, STARS dancers cultivate important life skills in areas of respect, responsibility and accountability, to self and others, as a contributing dance team member.
STARS is divided into four age groups. Participants in Kindergarten through 6th grade can choose to participate in one performance genre (either ballet or jazz) or take part in both!
- Kinder - Kindergarten
- Petite - 1st & 2nd Grade
- Mini - 3rd & 4th Grade
- Junior - 5th & 6th Grade
*A minimum of 8 dancers are required to create a STARS group. We reserve the right to move dancers to a group outside their age/grade level, depending on enrollment numbers.
STARS Introductory Competitive Program
The STARS Competitive Program is an optional, add-on program for dancers in Kindergarten - 6th grades who wish to compete in the genre of jazz/musical theater/lyrical jazz 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.
