From the reviews
Both of my daughters have been through various UDA programs and classes over the past 4 years. Melina and the team has treated us like family and provide routines my girls can always look forward to. I was looking at other studios around Valpo, but this is by far the best facility.
We love everything about UDA. My daughter takes a weekly tumbling class and she loves it. The instructor Lea, is kind and a very skilled instructor. She make the class fun for the kids which hasn't always been our experience when taking gymnastics elsewhere.
We have had the absolute best experience at UDA! We moved to Valparaiso in January 2025 and were hoping to find a structured dance studio for our 5 year old daughter to continue doing the thing she loves - and we definitely found it!
My daughter has danced at United for 7 years now and I couldn't ask for a more supportive studio! We are treated as family and my daughter has gained confidence, discipline and a love for ballet. Miss Susan is the absolute best and is a great role model for young girls!
Your first ballet class at United Dance Arts
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
