UDA Convention Camps

Convention Camps are the best option for exposing athletes to aspects of dance team as well as industry trends. These camps are held at resort or hotel locations and have night three evening off for open practice or team bonding. Along with learning routines, dancers will get to participate in 3 master classes.

Teams can participate in optional Home Routine Evaluations and bond through teambuilding activities. Each dancer will learn and be evaluated on 2 routines in a variety of levels and styles for A and B routines and participate in 3 master classes. Technical training includes a Team Technique Class as well as our Tech Connect class and athletes receive additional education in Link Up Seminars. Athletes will all participate in our Game Day Classes to help better all aspects of their game day. NEW this year our Conventions Camps will have Crazy Night for athletes to have fun dressing up and bonding as a team before they get the evening off.

Game Day Classes
This year UDA has elevated our game day curriculum with two parts that are closely connected to UCA. Part one is a brand new class, Game Day Stations. Coaches can send athletes to a station that works on a specific part of game day. Part two is a class where coaches can split athletes up to learn any of the four Band Dances that UDA offers. The four band dances that UDA will be offering are Pom, Jazz, Hip Hop, and a Stand Routine. Our Pom sideline again will correlate to UCA and coaches will also be provided with the sheet music to bring back to their band.

Coaches' Meetings
Your Head Instructor will educate you on all things UDA to help lead your team to success at camp and throughout the season. Daily meetings will take you through the schedule and NEW this year, all UDA is offering Connected Coaches Classes. This is a three-part series that will start with our coaches completing a self-reflection that will then be tied to two coaches’ classes discussing daily habits. These coaches' educational classes relate to what the athletes are doing throughout camp and allows the coaches to connect with their team on a deeper level. All coaches will receive an exclusive UDA Coaches’ Manual to utilize throughout your season. After camp, your State Director is a year-round resource for all your questions and needs.
