Junior Company
More Than Dancers—Leaders in the Making.
At United Dance Productions, we believe that with opportunity, exposure, and disciplined training, young Bermudian artists can achieve excellence and make their mark on the world stage.
Our Junior Company is an elite performance group made up of some of UDP's most talented, dedicated, and hardworking dancers. Membership is by selection only and is reserved for students who consistently demonstrate exceptional technical ability, commitment, and a passion for dance.
As ambassadors of United Dance Productions, Junior Company members are expected to embody our core values of hard work, discipline, respect, and excellence. To maintain their place in the company, dancers are required to participate in a minimum of three technique classes each week.
Beyond developing their dance skills, Junior Company members gain invaluable life experiences through performance opportunities, intensive rehearsals, and team collaboration. They learn the importance of professionalism, positive competition, dance etiquette, responsibility, and perseverance, qualities that extend far beyond the studio.
