  • Professional dance floors: All our studios feature special cushioned flooring (sprung with O'Mara materials and StageStep Coverings. This provides UDA dancers with the maximum amount of cushion for their comfort (reducing fatigue) and safety (to prevent injury).
  • Our main studios are joined by a viewing room so you can watch the students and teachers interact. 
  • We sell dance shoes and clothing in the studio for your convenience.
  • Our class variety includes: children's dance, ballet, hip-hop, adult dance, jazz, tap, performance team, modern, lyrical, conditioning & flexibility, improvisation, musical theatre & more.​
  • We have drinks and snacks available in the office for your convenience.
  • Our dance classes are designed on a progressive system of learning, which groups students by experience, rather than age. According to Melina, "We want dancers to come and learn correctly, at their own pace."
  • To make things more customer-friendly, a software package was purchased, allowing for class registrations and payments online.
  • Excellent customer service: in addition to our instructors, we have dedicated staff available to answer your questions, whenever you need to ask them!
