From the reviews
UPAC has a wonderful history in the Central Florida area. Our own studio, on the opposite side of town, has competed alongside the UPAC dancers many times, and have always found the students and teachers to be kind and supportive to not just their own dancers, but to those on other teams as well-that is rare!
I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the extraordinary dance lessons Ms Geri provided for my daughter's Sweet Sixteen celebration. Her talent, dedication, and passion for dance truly made this experience exceptional.
Myself have been dancing here for years its the most professional and have good communication! They have really nice staff and have all types of dancing. It's really fun to make new friends and learn dance and doing it on stage! I recommend dancing here its the best dance place ever!
I danced here for 15 years. It was the place I made my best friends, learned life lessons from the studio owner and my teachers, and was given endless opportunities to eventually became a professional dancer in LA.
Your first ballet class at University Performing Arts Centre
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.
