We also have a competitive dance team, the Powerhouse Production Competition Team who competes in three dance competitions per season.

Whether you are a seasoned vet or novice, we offer classes for every level with teachers who are experienced in providing the proper education and instruction in the art of dance.
U Dance Studio’s owner Emily Uzzetta, better known as Miss Emily by her students, lives locally and has been instructing dance for over 10 years. A little history on Miss Emily’s dance background; she started at a young age and danced through high school at local dance studio, Dance Elite. In college, Miss Emily danced professionally as a cheerleader for the St. Louis Ram’s NFL team. Teaching has been the highlight of Miss Emily’s dance career. “Seeing my students light up when they accomplish a new skill is incredibly motivating and rewarding. Being able to share that love, knowledge, and passion of dance is beyond. The dance community plays an important role in children’s lives, beyond becoming a skillful athlete, it fosters solid friendships and makes memories that last a lifetime.”
