UDA ALL AMERICAN INFORMATION
Each dance team attending UDA camp can nominate members of the team to compete for the honor of being named “UDA All-American”. All seniors are eligible to tryout. If there are no seniors, then a maximum of six team members may be nominated to tryout. The Head Instructor will let you know the exact time and location of the All-American tryout. Candidates will tryout in groups of two or more.
