UDA CONSERVATORY Competitive Program
UDA CONSERVATORY Competitive Program
UDA Conservatory is a pre-professional competitive program for dancers who will be in the 2nd - 12th grades for the 2025-2026 dance year. Through participation, dancers will intensify their training to result in a higher level of technique, performance and artistry; providing the education and experience needed to continue dance in higher education or a professional career as well as high school and college dance teams. .
Conservatory is divided into four teams, each receiving instruction in classical ballet, jazz, contemporary, hip hop, tap and ballroom.
- Minis: 2nd - 5th grade
- Juniors: 5th - 7th grade
- Teens: 7th - 10th grade
- Seniors: 10th - 12th grade
Conservatory Ballet Competitive Program
Conservatory Ballet is an optional, add-on program for Conservatory dancers in the 6th – 12th grade who want to intensify their ballet study through pre-professional training. Dancers are grouped according to individual level, with age consideration, as opposed to being grouped by team participation

- In previous years, dancers who were not a part of the Conservatory program who wanted to audition, had to receive a personal invitation. This year, the policy has changed. Any dancer who wants to audition for Conservatory may do so without an invitation. Dancers, who have never participated in a competitive program, are encouraged to first attend the Varsity audition. Dancers who audition for Varsity, whom we feel should consider auditioning for Conservatory, will be notified after attending the Varsity audition.

Conservatory Program Auditions
All About Auditions
Please consider the level of commitment and financial responsibility that comes with being part of these intensive programs. Dancers who have a desire to achieve a higher level of technique and artistry are encouraged to audition for these programs; however, not all dancers who audition will be placed on a team or in a company. Dancers are selected based on their technical ability, performance, artistry, and overall cohesiveness with dancers of a similar ability.
